Washington, D.C.—February 2017— Renowned French-Armenian artist Jean Kazandjian will present his latest collection, Best of Both Worlds: An Exhibition of the Collected Works of Jean Kazandjian, hosted at the Embassy of Armenia in Washington, D.C. as part of the D.C.

“Jean Kazandjian has succeeded for decades in representing the best of both worlds by the intricate melding of Armenian and French culture and history throughout his art practice. Kazandjian’s thought provoking and optimistic critiques on society are articulated through the surrealistic tradition which he so ardently preserves. Jean has created his own magnificent universe through this art- one that encompasses many exciting worlds within it and leaves his viewers fulfilled and nostalgic,” expressed Ambassador Grigor Hovhannissian, of the Embassy of Armenia.
