05.10.2023 The personal exhibition of artist-illustrator, designer Gulfarida Dzhaniyarova “MY WHOLE LIFE IS IN ART”
The opening of the second personal exhibition of the Kazakh artist-illustrator, designer Gulfarida Dzhaniyarova “MY WHOLE LIFE IS IN ART” will take place at the Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan on October 5, 2023, at 3 p.m.
Artist Gulfarida Dzhaniyarova in her works reflects the World in which she lives - boundless love for people, animals and nature, where she uses different techniques, methods and materials, creates completely different unique images of dolls, as well as picturesque paintings, distinguished by an abundance of colors and paints, including still-life, landscapes, portraits, flower arrangements, etc. Each work of art is a separate project, which has its own theme, content, style, and history.
G. Dzhaniyarova graduated from Alma-Ata Art School (painting department). Since 1971, she studied the history of costume in the 18th and 19th centuries and dreamed of becoming a costume designer, and in 1994 she began working with individual orders, paying great attention to concert costumes. Thus, Gulfarida developed costumes for the presentation of the capital of Kazakhstan - Astana (now Nur-Sultan), costumes for little performers of the Republican children's music competition "Onshi Balapan", modeled costumes for Kazakh pop stars - Ye. Shakeyev, R. Stamgaziyev, K. Abdildina, A. Issatayeva, Honored Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan - B. Samedinova and M. Ilyassova, etc. She took an active part in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Zhambyl.
Work and cooperation with theaters played an important role in choosing creative guidelines. At M. Auezova Kazakh State Academic Drama Theater for the play “The Last Days of Abylay Khan”, the artist reliably completed sketches of the khan’s costume, corresponding to the ancient costumes of the Kazakh nomadic nobility.
An important place in the work of G. Dzhaniyarova is occupied by a series of her paintings executed with vivid artistic expressiveness, demonstrating the diversity of amazing nature.
G. Dzhaniyarova was the first to become a member of the International Association of Doll Authors among Kazakh artists (author’s project “Dolls of Kazakhstan”). She also took an active part in International Doll Exhibitions (the Russian Federation, Moscow).
The artistic basis of this exhibition is a new collection of original works. These are dolls of historical figures in historical costumes: Raiymbek Batyr, Genghis Khan, decorative items of animals (a collection of dogs), as well as figures of rare birds. All these works will be presented at the exhibition.
The exhibition features more than 80 works of art.
The exhibition will last until October 19.
