Several of his paintings were digitally exhibited at Times Square as part of Art Takes Times Square 2012. The prior year, the curatorial team at Artexpo New York recognized Gegham’s "The Last Light" (2000) as Artwork of the Day on March 16, noting: "The female figure, cloaked with heavy garments, seems to carry the weight of the world. She is a symbol of beauty lost in the diversity of projections that civilization has wrapped around her." Gegham has also been the subject of numerous publications in his native country of Armenia prior to moving to the United States. Gegham's oeuvre merges traditional and modern techniques and themes, expressed seamlessly across various media, offering a distinctive and fresh artistic perspective.
