Biography

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Jean Kazandjian moved to France after winning the national art contest organized by the Sursock Museum in Beirut in 1962.[citation needed]

Once in Paris, he studied interior architecture and obtained his diploma from L'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs (ENSAD) in 1967. Jean Kazandjian worked as an architect until 1969 when he embraced his career as a painter.[citation needed]

In 1971 Kazandjian exhibited in the Furstenberg Gallery in Paris along with surrealist figures Hans Bellmer, Giorgio de Chirico, Wifredo Lam and Salvador Dalí.[citation needed]

Through the 1970s, Kazandjian was active in the Parisian art circles where he met with painters Francis Bacon, Alexander Calder and Giorgio de Chirico.[1]

Over the next four decades, Kazandjian exhibited not only in Paris but internationally as well.[citation needed]
