Eozen Agopian has traversed many artistic mediums since the precision work she did as an AAS (’87) student in Graphic Design. \u00a0Many of her mixed medium\u00a0canvases combine abstract painting, needlepoint, shimmering shapes, and downpours of cascading treads. Tantalizing to the eye, there is nothing still or stagnant to her imaginative work, which is now on\u00a0view at the Lesley Heller Workspace<\/a> on 54 Orchard Street through July 6.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“After FIT I could see things differently. I could see the lines, shapes, forms, in architecture and my surroundings. \u00a0Education trains your eye, and design becomes more specific. \u00a0From my education in graphic design I learned how to be precise,” says Agopian who went on to get her MFA from Pratt Institute.<\/p>\n

“I have this attachment to fabric and threads. I thought it was because I grew up in Greece,” says Agopian who has duel citizenship. “I used to do needlework growing up but I’d get bored and go to the margins and do my own thing. I’d always thought that my experience at FIT was a lot about fabric. I’d see a lot of fashion design, so there’s a connection to that, and you can’t help notice the fabric stores in the area.”\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“It was better for me that I started in Graphic Design,” says Agopian. “To combine that with the freedom the fine arts and your own thoughts really intrigued me.”<\/p>\n
