In Gagik Ghazanchyan's new paintings, a city can look familiar and strange at once. unFamiliar City brings together works from 2024–2026 at Gallery One in Yerevan's Cafesjian Center for the Arts through 28 February 2027.

What to look for in the gallery

The paintings can first read as dense fields of lines and colour. Then fragments of buildings and whole high-rise districts emerge, seen from shifting heights and angles. Tire marks across the painted surface turn physical movement into another kind of image.

The exhibition's idea

The Center frames the work around what happens to a city's felt identity when familiar buildings and places lose stable meaning. The exhibition is also part of CYFEST 17's Natura Naturans, which considers the city as a human-made landscape. Admission is free.
