Despite his success as a painter, Sureniants had only one exhibition in his lifetime.
However, there have been many posthumous exhibitions in his honor, including exhibitions at Venice (1924), Yerevan (1931, 1941, 1960, 2010) and elsewhere.
The most recent exhibition was held in 2010 in honor of Sureniants' 150th anniversary.
During the exhibition, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, said that:
Sureniants can well be ascribed to the family of the world's best artists, and our State has much to do in this respect: the celebration of his 150th anniversary should launch the process of his international recognition.
I happened to discover an exciting detail as I familiarized myself with his life experience.
During his lifetime, Sureniants had only one personal exposition: in Baku in 1901.
Our initiative is exceptional from this point of view as we have tried to bring to the public’s attention all we could collect over time.

Sureniants was well known in the art community and enjoyed personal friendships with a number of famous Russian artists including Igor Grabar, Vasily Polenov, Aleksandr Golovin and the sculptors Alexander Matveyev and Nikolay Andreyev.

One admirer of his was the Russian painter Ilya Repin, who said:
The paintings of Vardges Sureniants fascinated me the first time I saw them; he is a bright exemplar of the new [painting] school – his originality is of unusually high proportions, and his passionate love for the slightest detail is outstanding.


Another admirer was the Russian art critic Vladimir Stasov, who said: 
Sureniants' superior skill in painting the architecture of the East while paying close attention to the intricate details of its motifs provides his paintings a splendor of colorfulness.

The Armenian painter, Martiros Saryan, once said of Sureniants that, "with a broad understanding of culture, his best works contained the beating heart of the Armenian nation" and added, "It is therefore certain that Sureniants will last as long as the Armenian people shall last."
