2002-10-19 until 2002-10-27
St. Thomas Episcopal Church
Medina, WA, USA United States of America

Garri Dadyan is a National Master Artist of the Soviet Union and a world-class master of repousse metal works. In 1993 he was named a member of the UNESCO International Federation of Artists in recognition of his superior artistry.

"The fine repousse images of Melic Dadayan are part of a great tradition of art of the Eastern churches reaching back into the Middle Ages from Northwest Russia to as far Southeast as Armenia. In a time when contemporary Soviet artists have been vying with each other in ever more modern expressions, it is refreshing to see an old art-form so beautifully revived." Professor Dr. Geza von Habsburg, Art Historian

The works of this Master Artist will be exhibited on October 19 – 27 2002, at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 84th Avenue NE and NE 12th Street, Medina, WA. Doors open 10:00am – 9:00pm daily.

The exhibit will celebrate the 1700 year anniversary of the adoption of Christianity by Armenia, and the rich Christian art legacy of the Armenian Apostolic church. A variety of works by Mr. Dadyan will be displayed including Armenian miniatures, Russian icons, jewelry and silverware.
