Description
Assadour (also known as Assadour Bezdikian) is a Lebanese Armenian painter and sculptor who was born in a northern suburb of Beirut in 1943. Growing up, he had an affinity to drawing and painting, and as a young man, he sought out lessons from Paul Guiragossian. He later won a scholarship at the Pietro Vannucci Academy, in Perugia, Italy. There, he studied classical painting, and the fundamentals of it, basking in the artistic wealth of Italy and its Renaissance, from which he derived his inclination to drawing and the sciences.
He currently lives and works in Paris where he became interested in art movements such as Constructivism, Abstraction and Expressionism, which were based on scientific advancement. Assadour exhibited his works in Beirut at the Sursock Museum’s Salons d’Automne (1962, 1963, 1964), Gallery One (1963, 1964), Galerie L’Amateur (1966, 1969) and Modulart (1972, 1975). He became a prominent figure in the Beirut art scene although he was swimming against the current of movements and subjects that inspired his peers. Assadour's paintings often feature a world seen through a kaleidoscope of geometric forms and algebraic formulas, physics, color theory and engineering.
