Multifaceted and capacious work of Armen Gasparyan “Harlequin on the Cube” carries a certain subtext and is permeated with philosophical thought.

The artist often depicts unusual heroes like kings, philosophers, Christian saints, knights, harlequins and jesters. In his art work we may notice the reference to mythology and Venetian carnival.

Harlequin is the character of the Italian commedia dell’arte, and also the most popular mask of the Italian square theater.

The picture is monochrome and restrained in colors, but at the same time it seems festive and elegant.
