Abstract Summer, Anush Babayan, H: 29″

Description

In Abstract Summer, Anush Babayan conjures the emotional atmosphere of the season through a layered orchestration of vibrant color, kinetic brush strokes and symbolic texture. At first glance, the piece is a riot of movement—yellows, reds, and electric blues rushing across the surface like wind in all directions. A closer look reveals tree-like forms and flickers of light emerging, rooting the work in a subtle naturalism. The painting resists a fixed center, inviting the viewer into a field of pure sensory saturation—as if standing in a summer dream, overwhelmed by light, sound and life.

Anush is effusive about her nostalgia for the summer season as a natural time for fun and repose. “I love Summer the most. It’s the time of vacation after the school year. I’ve been working in education for over 45 years, plus my own years of study. So it’s become a habit that Summer = Vacation!”
