On 19 September, 2018 at 16. 00 Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the support of the branch 798 Gallery, Ouli TianShan Art Museum opens a personal exhibition "Faces of Central Asia" of a young Almaty artist Guzel Zakirova.

afisha-guzel2018Guzel Zakirova is graduated the art and graphic faculty of the Kazakh Pedagogical Institute named after Abai, specializing in painting, master of painting, and also graduated from the Xinjiang Art Institute (China). She started her career in Almaty architecture and Construction College as a teacher of art history.

The exhibition "Faces of Central Asia" is a graphic series of portraits of people belonging to different ethnic groups of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, through the images of which the cultural and spiritual wealth of the Central Asian peoples is demonstrated.

Artistic basis of the exhibition is a graphic and partly watercolor portrait image, created by two contrasting colors: black and white. The author sees the seminal nucleus of his works in the need to capture the amazing ethnic and cultural diversity of the Central Asian region, which is the "Heart of Asia".
"Faces of Central Asia" is not just a series of works, but also an original visual diary, created by the artist during her trip to Central Asia. "I really want to show through my work to everyone the unknown side of Asia that has been revealed to me," – Guzel shares his impressions.

The series "Faces of Central Asia" is also the result of the personal project of the author "1001 face of Xinjiang", started in 2016, and presented at the exhibition "Co - Construction of Harmonious Culture" in China. Initially, these were quick sketches of ordinary passers-by, but then, during the journey through Central Asia, an intention to create a unique portrait gallery has appeared.
The main route of the Guzel was the passage along one of the directions of the Great Silk Road, namely: Almaty-Kashgar-Bishkek-Namangan.

Wild mountain steeps, cultivated fields, oriental bazaars, huge shopping malls shrouded in glass and beehive hives of small shops on narrow streets, congestions of cars and buses are just a small part of what we see. True Asia is shown by Guzel Zakirova in the images of representatives of different nationalities of Central Asia, who convey not only anthropological characteristics, but also history, cultural traditions and national color. Most often these are images of older people, whose faces are represented as a living story.

G. Zakirova's works were previously presented at international exhibitions in Russia (Moscow), Turkey (Istanbul), China (Urumqi), etc. Guzel is a member of the Union of Young Artists of Moscow (Russia), laureate of the prize of Uighur maecenas of art "Ilkham".

The exhibition presents about 80 works of the artist.

At the opening of the exhibition will be performed the ensemble: "DOLAN" and the band "Deleon_Band". Information support – the Internet portal «Doppa Life».

The first 100 visitors will take a souvenir as a gift from the author.

The exhibition will last until 4 October, 2018.
