Portraits of queens
and Amazons of the Great Steppe depicted on carpets - visitors can explore the
unique art pieces by a young Kazakh artist in Astana at an exhibition held in
one of the contemporary art centers. The exposition of Assel Sabyrzhankyzy features
a total of 15 works, each drawing inspiration from Kazakhstan’s historical
heritage.
“This is a truly
unique technique. There are no artists like this throughout the CIS. While
there might be one artist in the East working on something similar, we still
use different techniques. Personally, I’ve found my own signature style,” shared
Sabyrzhankyzy.
The exhibition also
featured artworks by other contemporary Kazakh artists, including Almas
Nurgozhayev’s unique monumental paintings and hyperrealistic installations by
Shalkar Kabdesh.
“From Assel’s
carpet techniques to large monumental works by Almas, and graceful metal mesh
installations by Shalkar Kabdesh - all of this is a symbol of the very
interesting and fascinating developments in Kazakhstan’s art scene today,” Leyla
Mahat, Head of the Kulanshi Contemporary Art Center, said.
