By depicting people from his everyday life in almost “claustrophobic” environments, Raffi Kalenderian creates a tension between intimacy and formality, depth and on-the-surface aloofness that’s hard to turn away from.
NEW YORK – MILES McENERY GALLERY is pleased to announce its representation of Raffi Kalenderian.
Raffi Kalenderian is a figurative painter based in Los Angeles, CA. Primarily known for portraiture, Kalenderian paints compelling portraits whose dynamic backgrounds merit as much attention as their subjects. Explosions of color and pattern in the form of carpets, wall coverings, and tapestries surround his sitters, whose facial expressions and bodily comportments offer an intimate look into their unique personalities. Working both from photographs and from life, Kalenderian discovers opportunities for distortion and abstraction.
