Exhibition in Art Nouveau style opens in Turkmen capital

Cubism, surrealism, abstract art, and impressionism - works spanning a variety of modernist styles were showcased at an exhibition in the capital of Turkmenistan. The organizers noted that preparations for the event had been underway for the past five months. The participants include not only professional artists but also students from the Academy of Fine Arts. They will have the opportunity to attend masterclasses led by renowned artists of the country. Notably, all the works on display were created specifically for this exhibition, with the artists completing them over a period of one to two months.

«I have brought six of my works, one of which is titled «Hunters». The painting is named this way because it depicts two young men competing in archery, surrounded by hunting scenes. The main theme of the artwork is the pursuit of a goal. I used warm shades of color with subtle touches of black in the composition,»  shared artist Gakhryman Gochmuradov.

«Today, I joined this exhibition because I am interested in your paintings and artists. So, I will enjoy tonight your paintings very much,» noted Sasaki Hiroshi, Japanese Ambassador to Turkmenistan.
