DerHohannesian’s work was exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions
throughout New England, in New York, the mid-West, and Florida. He was
represented by the Carl Seimbab gallery, as well as the Margaret Brown
Gallery. He first exhibited his work at a group show in 1940, at the
Guggenheim in New York, with a group of what he referred to as other
“non-objective painters.” Other group exhibitions include the DeCordova
Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Boston Society
of Independent Artists, the Lyman Allyn Art Museum, in New London, CT,
the Museum of Modern Art in Yerevan, Armenia, the Director’s Choice
Exhibit, Rockport Art Association, and an exhibit from the collection of
John D. Merriam at the Boston Public Library. His solo shows included
exhibitions at the Charles E. Smith Gallery in Boston in 1950, the
Copley Society in Boston in 1955, the Providence Art Club in 1970. |

There has been much eloquent commentary about the work of Garabed
DerHohannesian. The celebrated art critic, Dorothy Adlow, of the
Christian Science Monitor, wrote this interesting analysis: |

“Garabed DerHohannesian is one of the most resourceful and sensitive
artists in Boston. In long, studious researches with color, he has
learned to use it with meaning and grace. He works in pure
abstraction…Through sensitive juxtaposition, he produces sequences,
patterns of movement, modulations of hue, superpositions, augmentations,
condensations and rarefications. He fuses light, color, line. He
produces a dynamic on the pictorial surface that parallels musical
composition. Sometimes he sets a line pattern across the figuration of
veiled planes, thus producing an effect of a melodic line against an
accompaniment of chords…(He) is resourceful with various media as well.
He works in oil on gesso, gouache, watercolor, mat board, and metallic
paper, casein panel on gesso…(he) works with a gentle, modest hand. The
nonobjective pattern comes to be a language-in-itself, beautifully
articulate of thought and feeling.” Christian Science Monitor,
May, 1950
