EAT MY HEART - A CONTEMPORARY ART SHOW BY TALINE TEMIZIAN Carousel London, 71 Blandford Street, London
Eat My Heart is an invitation for an exploratory journey into The CARDIAC; everything in life is related to the heart. It provokes people to open their souls and see life from an emotional, philosophical,
conceptual,
existentialist
and
sensual perspective.
presents
EAT MY
This continuous journey following love under the shadow of deconstruction has two dimensions : physical and emotional. In the artist’s own words: ‘In my art in general and this show in
specific,
I
am
celebrating The
Cardiac with an endless representational exercise in my creative and emotional journey that keeps me alive... The journeys of love and life force we get from the heart that keep all of us alive. Both physically and emotionally... So when we have a Cardiac for dinner, then we know that Love is in the air! and when we serve love to someone, then we are giving life another chance!’

EHX: KHOVANSHCHINA, TALINE TEMIZIAN, ROSSOTRUDNICHESTVO, LONDON, 27 MARCH – 4 APRIL 37 Kensington High Street, London W8 5ED UK Rossotrudnichestvo is opening its Kensington doors the last week of March to show an exhibition of drawings and paintings by Armenian artist Taline Temizian. The exhibition is titled ‘Khovanshchina’ and the series of costume drawings are inspired by Mussorgsky’s opera, also known as The Khovansky Affair. Taline Temizian is an artist with a bold spectrum across creative disciplines. She makes art – from traditional oil painting to mixed media plexi cases-, music and jewellery. Born in California and of Armenian origin, Taline grew up in Syria and went on to live in Beirut, Venice, Paris and London, which is where she currently lives and works. Her artworks can be found in the collections of David Bailey, Michael Portillo, Paul Smith, Pierre

remarquer l’influence de la mode sur son art. Difficile de ne pas s’égarer sous l’effet du message et du symbolisme encrés par la nature réelle de ses œuvres. En utilisant surtout les couleurs primaires vibrantes, Temizian a su créer pour elle-même une audience internationale, cela est traduit par les nombreuses expositions collectives et individuelles qu’elle a menées.
