Khoren Matevosyan × Woods.center - A Glimpse Into His Expanding Universe

At the Woods Center, Xoromat (Khoren Matevosyan) unveils a new mural that expands his universe of woven myths into a bold public art statement.

In our recent feature on Khoren Matevosyan, we explored his unique blend of weaving, code, and storytelling across textile and digital media.

Among the many works we admired, this tile-based facade piece created for Woods.center stood out as something we wanted to share on its own.

Artistic printouts and tools scattered near a lift, showing Khoren Matevosyan’s preparation process for installing his mural Chronicle of Motion at Woods.center. — **Khoren Matevosyan:** Designs, printouts, and tools at the base of the lift: a behind-the-scenes look at Matevosyan’s meticulous preparation process for *Chronicle of Motion* at Woods.center.

The work spans the full height of the building, composed entirely of custom-placed ceramic tiles.

From a distance, it reveals a pixelated face framed by a radiating, symmetrical pattern.

**Khoren Matevosyan**: From grid to wall. Original sketch layouts and in-situ references guide the mural’s translation from digital design to ceramic form.

It reads almost like a guardian figure or architectural icon quietly integrated into the structure.

The visual rhythm and formal logic connect directly with Matevosyan's broader practice, yet remain rooted in the materiality of place.

**Khoren Matevosyan:** From concept to wall: a printed reference of **Matevosyan’s** *Chronicle of Motion* held against the window, mirroring the mural as it takes shape across the courtyard.

The mural, titled Chronicle of Motion, is structured in three interwoven parts, each representing an aspect of Armenian tradition, contemporary culture, and a narrative of movement or transformation within the public space.

This triadic structure is not immediately visible, but it pulses through the rhythm of the tiles, the layering of forms, and the way the piece engages with its architectural surroundings.

woods projects Armenia — **Khoren Matevosyan:** At night, the mural glows quietly behind shadows, anchoring the building in a presence that feels both ancient and futuristic.

This isn’t just ornament or decoration: it’s a visual language, encoded in ceramic, that carries history forward while embracing the aesthetic codes of the now.

From certain angles, the figure seems to shift. Light, shadow, and distance conspire to animate the surface. It’s not static, it moves, subtly, with time. And that, we think, is the point.
