Michael Bargamian ‘13 - Artist Talk: Wed. Jan 31, 4:45-5:45 p.m., DPC (Daugherty-Palmer Commons)

Michael will present his recent art work and talk about his experiences after graduating from SMCM.

MICHAEL BARGAMIAN ’13 is a visual artist who currently lives outside Baltimore, MD. While his initial artist practice encompassed drawing, digital media, and painting, since 2018 his practice and output has been dedicated to collage making. With some 400 plus pieces in this ongoing “project” he wishes to pursue and ensnare viewers with scenes from absurdist real-world scenarios, visions of what could be just around the corner, or landscapes and situations that could very well occur if we just stray a bit off the beaten path. The practice of making new work is just as rewarding to him as it is to share the images with others and see what they think or where the image takes them. Outside of his own art making interests he has worked for several local Maryland organizations including the Howard County Government, the Columbia Art Center, and the Walters Art Museum. He graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 2013 and completed a Master of Professional Studies certificate from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2020. He currently works in Laurel, Maryland for the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.
