Seoul Bystro to host art show in Sunnyside

webadmin on October 18, 2024

By Molly Sword

On Saturday, October 19th, popular Korean Restaurant, Seoul Bystro, is hosting an art show featuring the work of talented artist, Jiro Tcholakian.

Guests will enjoy an interactive experience of Tcholakian’s showcase of artworks while feasting on popular Seoul Bystro items like the Kimchi Burger, Jjapaghetti, Bystro Sushi Roll, and much more.

Each of Jiro’s works reflects a certain feeling that he aims to evoke in the viewer, a style of abstract emotionalism that comes from a place of determination to present feelings through art. Jiro believes that artwork should be more than the mind trying to decipher what is being viewed but the feelings, memories and inspiration that come from within the work.

For Jiro, art has been a transformative experience in several ways, what started as a form of therapy while having a two-year serious illness became a lifestyle and passion. As a former photographer, he had experience in the arts but through direct painting, he has become more in touch with certain feelings and expressions of self. The most miraculous discovery that came from his artwork was his increased ability to see more colours, formally colour-blind and struggling to decipher between yellows and greens, a year into his painting he began to see a full-colour spectrum.

Jiro’s heritage also plays a large part in his artwork, originally from Beruit, Lebanon, his family has a dark history as survivors of the Armenian genocide. The genocide, which has never been formally apologised for, is remembered through his family’s stories, such as how his grandfather was forced to see his father’s execution at only 8 years of age. The feelings Jiro conveys come from a variety of places but also reflect the devastation of his family’s history. However, as an optimist Jiro aims that from the hate there can be love stating “the best place to see the light is when it is dark”.

Seoul Bystro is also one of Jiro’s favoured restaurants, he even organized the art show over lunch after owner, Gerald Won, asked why he had paint on his nose. Jiro says he visits Seoul Bystro for the “good vibes and energy” but stays for the spicy sushi rolls which he claimed are a must-have item.

Jiro’s showcase of artwork this Saturday night will be an emotive and culturally enhancive experience for all those who attend. And with delicious food and drink at Seoul Bistro, it will be a spectacular combination for all the senses.

Seoul Bystro is located at 43-10 Queens Blvd. in Sunnyside, Queens.

ARTHUR LORUSSO

webadmin on October 7, 2024

Arthur Lorusso, died Thursday, October 3, 2024 at the age of 61. Arthur was born and raised in Maspeth, New York. He was a good husband to his wife Diane and father to his son Dominic. He was the beloved son to his parents whom pre-deceased him (Anna Lorusso) and (Domenico Lorusso). Arthur is also survived by his sister (Ester), sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, nieces, a nephew, many cousins & many wonderful lifelong friends! Arthur loved airplanes, so it’s no coincidence he started his first career with TWA, where he worked his way up to Security Manager in Cargo. Arthur would meet friends there that he kept in touch with throughout his life. We were afforded many great trips thanks to the benefits of his working with TWA. Circumstances in 2001 ended his time with TWA, but his experience & skillset granted him an opportunity to get a promising job with Homeland Security/TSA where he became an Inspector. Arthur received many accolades throughout his 16 year career there, too many to acknowledge, but all were credited to his outstanding work ethic. Not one to stay still, he left the TSA and shortly thereafter, landed a job with the Four Seasons Hotel (Downtown NYC) through a contracted security firm as a security guard. Eventually he was hired on the Four Seasons team as their Assistant Security Director. He was the first contracted employee there to receive an award for excellence. Arthur retired early to which our son Dominic and I are eternally grateful that he had a chance to enjoy leisure time with us! Arthur always loved to have a good time so we are grateful for the friendships that sustained him and the special memories that are deeply embedded within him & us! Arthur taught Dominic to ski at a young age following in his father’s footsteps. They took many father and son trips together; I’m grateful Dominic can look back and remember these special times fondly. Arthur should be remembered fondly for many reasons, but I think he would want mostly everyone to remember how he could make them laugh! Mass of Christian Burial offered at St. Adalbert’s Church on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 10 AM.
