Focusing on the noteworthy Armenian symbolist, this volume demonstrates how Daron Mouradian stretches the boundaries of reality to the breaking point. His gloriously surreal canvases are reviewed, bursting with color and activity, and the study reveals how he is armed with a hallucinogenic mind as well as gifted with the technical proficiency of Daniel Merriam and Michael Parkes. From swarthy gypsies battling flying fish to Rubenesque ladies balancing atop dachshunds, this collection showcases fine art, happy humor, and an appropriate amount of madness combined into one artist’s imagination.
