For me, these paintings represent the passion of this man [Alen Salerian] and the relentlessness of his search for honesty, integrity, and accountability. He is the Diogenes of our own time in his constant pursuit of honesty and truth.

How long has it been since we (the viewers) were exposed to a great big collection of hard-won and unabashedly expressionistic canvasses done most emphatically by a “driven” artist? Salerian does painterly data or, in his words, “story-telling” very nicely. It’s possible to enjoy these paintings alone, or for their narrative importance to JFK. He gives his arm’s radius the whole, and he isn’t self-conscious or swamped by a little ghost mentoring by greats like Soutine or De Kooning.

I’m honored that Dr. Salerian has chosen to revive his artistic abilities to explore greatness in my uncle through his works, provocative recreations of well –known pictorial moments of our 35th president.
