Attachments explores the invisible threads that connect us to experiences, memories, people, and emotions. At the center of the composition, a powerful core radiates outward, sending fragments of energy in multiple directions. Each form appears as a separate entity, yet remains linked to the same source. The painting reflects the paradox of human attachment: the way our connections can both nourish and restrict us. Some threads carry warmth, growth, and inspiration, while others hold traces of fear, longing, or unresolved emotions. Together they create a dynamic inner landscape where separation and unity coexist. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, Attachments invites the viewer to reflect on their own bonds, patterns, and energetic ties, and to consider which connections continue to serve their evolution and which are ready to be released.
Why collect this work?
A compact centre organizes the painting’s scattered forms without fully containing them, presenting attachment as a structure of simultaneous connection, separation and return.
- Arutyunyan describes an intuitive practice concerned with emotional states and transformation. In this work, recurring spirals and radiating forms support that intention while resisting a single narrative.
- In the photograph, dark strokes flare from a red-black core into broad areas of exposed ground. Circular, eye-like motifs appear around this burst, shifting the composition between outward propulsion and watchful containment.
- The documented oil-on-canvas medium can accommodate saturated passages beside softer, less emphatic marks. Here, the photographed variation in density makes some forms read as weighted nodes and others as fleeting connections.
- Dated 2026 and measuring 80 by 60 cm, Attachments is a focused example of how abstraction can map relationships through proximity, direction and recurrence without assigning fixed identities to its forms.
