Grammy Award–winning System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian brings his multi-sensory vision to the Armenian Museum of America in Watertown. His abstract paintings—layered with a handful of colors that stir deep, often indescribable emotions—come alive when paired with music he composed especially for them.
“I see music and visual art as extensions of the same soul. When I paint, I’m composing. When I compose, I’m painting,” Tankian explains. This exhibition allows visitors to step into that vision: a gallery where art and sound are inseparable, where a canvas can be heard as well as seen.
On view through February, The Art of Disruption showcases Tankian’s original abstract paintings alongside musical compositions, video installations, poems, and personal artifacts—an immersive experience that redefines the boundaries between sound, image, and feeling.
