Interview with Armen Agop
In his sculptures, Armen Agop uses black granite and basalt as his main media of expression. These compact and hard stones possess a strong inner gravity as they stubbornly refuse to break apart. Within the ancient culture of Egypt, granite was the material prominently employed in architectural construction and art. Agop has revived old sculpture techniques, adopting skills to his stonework from hundreds of years back in a perpetual quest for the purest form.

Armen Agop: Transcontemporary
22 January - 21 February 2015 Armen Agop's sculptures have been called futuristic, other-worldy, UFOs, and at the same time ancient, spiritual and meditative. They are forms that seem familiar and yet unusual. They may remind you of something you haven't yet seen. This may be in part due to the timelessness of the material he chooses and it may be due to his approach, which results in precise forms that demand contemplation. Transcontemporary unveils new granite and bronze sculptures by the artist that are both free-standing and wall-mounted.
