Pogosian’s work encompasses both conceptual object making and collaborative, process-driven world-building projects. Their sculptural and material practice includes ceramic, lost-wax, PLA, bronze, and aluminum casting, among other media. Drawing from neuroaesthetic inquiry, their work considers how form, texture, and movement shape perception and attention. Their creative range also extends into art direction, production design, and prop styling for editorial and experiential projects.
Their education blends intuitive practice with formal arts training at The Cooper Union, The School of Visual Arts, SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado. They hold a BA in Political Science with a minor in Studio Art from Queens College, CUNY, where they are also pursuing an MFA in Sculpture.
In 2010, Pogosian founded Forma Studio, which became a home for their creative output and collaboration. By 2017, their ceramic work was carried by the Museum of Contemporary Art and ABC Home & Carpet, and featured in The New York Times Magazine, Domino, WWD, and Sight Unseen. Their work has been presented in exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, and Paris.
In 2022, Pogosian launched Armenian Joy, an archival photography project and diasporic collaboration that now includes over 75 contributors and is evolving toward a published collection of origin stories. Pogosian’s practice is informed by diasporic memory and intergenerational survival, shaped by histories of displacement and repair.
Raised between Moscow and Yerevan, Pogosian lives and works as an artist and educator in New York City.
