Berge Missakian is a Canadian artist known for his "Fluid Cubist" Jazz paintings; he was born in Alexandria, Egypt of Armenian heritage and has been living in Montreal, Quebec since 1962. Missakian studied at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. and Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh, Tom Thomson, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró and Georges Braque, Missakian’s paintings always reaffirm the basic and enduring grammar of both Cubism and Fauvism. He created whimsical landscapes, still lifes and street scenes, capturing the unique beauty and colors of the Canadian landscape as well as the throbbing tempo of Jazz; his signature style focuses on contrasting vibrant colors, strong cubist shapes with multiple viewpoints, bold handling of paint, as well as flowing and fanciful lines; his work is improvisational and expressive with a variety of rhythms, life situations and exuberant allegories. Through the years, Missakian’s paintings have garnered numerous solo exhibitions nationally and internationally and can be found in many private and corporate collections across North America, Europe, the Middle East, China, Australia, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia and Armenia. The collection of his 15 paintings "Colors of a Genocide" is at the Armenian Library and Museum of America, in Watertown, Ma. STYLE: Cubism, Fauvism.
