"We can't put into words of how amazing this event was. It was magical. You know all those qualities we keep trying to find in an artist to make him/her complete? Technical expertise, perfect composition in each work, great human relation and marketing skills, a story and meaning behind each piece? David Bedikian showed us all that and more. His art has SOUL. It speaks louder than a choir and it inspires your heart." - JoMar Visions on "Postcards From My Subconscious"

 

"THE 20YATP TRANSFORMATIONAL ART AWARD is given to “STOP” by David Bedikian. This is a special honor, awarded by Marta Woodhull herself: "This piece I have singled out as a one of a kind moment, not only in this art show, but as a singular explosive expression of feeling. This piece does not represent a place, a time, a story, a person. This piece jumps off the page with pure non-verbal movement. This piece may speak the silent story of millions, yet in its own solitary way speaks of the battle of the lost self, disassembled by violence, clawing its way back to the surface. The beak, the talons, the scrambled features of what could be a face or a skull or an merely an exploding soul, this piece I could look at over and over again and know that someone truly knows the inner noises of the battle cry of the broken warrior. This is why I have created a special award for this piece, an award that I didn’t even know needed to exist, until today." - Marta Woodhull, "20 Years After the Pink" and RAINN

 

"I came to your show because I was told it would be good, but I didn't expect to be standing here wondering 'how on earth had I not heard of this guy before?'" - Matt Adams, Houston Visual Art Alliance

 

"Crisp, vibrant and moving: 'A Single Second' is just one of many incredible abstract works [by David Bedikian]" - Alysia Anne, Senior Moderator deviantArt
