ARPIE GENNETIAN NAJARIAN [1992, Graphic Design]

Based in Woodcliff Lake, NJ

Arpie Gennetian is a fine artist and graphic designer. She uses her love of lines, color, paper, typography, and thread to begin her works on paper. A grid is the primary compositional structure in Arpie’s work. Her own drawings, together with selections from her growing collection of paper and printed typography, are carefully cropped by hand with scissors and stitched into place to create larger drawings composed of circles on a grid. “My process is about finding beauty in lines and color and form. I don’t look far for inspiration. . . it is everywhere.”

Arpie Gennetian was born and raised in Watertown, Massachusetts and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Graphic Design degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992. She worked as a graphic designer for the Museum of Modern Art and the architecture firm, Gensler, before shifting her focus to fine art. Arpie’s work has been included in the artist registry at the Drawing Center in New York City. She has exhibited at galleries in New Jersey, New York City, and Boston, and her artwork is in many private collections throughout the U.S. She works from her studio just outside New York City, where she lives with her husband and three children.
