Inspired early on by the Dutch masters and the way they used light, color and shadow to add drama in their compositions, Kevork Cholakian combines realism with simplicity to convey the importance of his subjects. Using transparent layers and strong colors contrasted against neutral tones to highlight objects, he paints his subjects larger than life.
EVENT: Kevork A. Cholakian’s “Look Closer” Art Gallery Show
