Ibrahimov Ulukbek Sharakhynovich - leader, chief, innovator in the development of artistic education in Kazakhstan. He was inspired by the idea of organizing a continuous three-stage system of art education: a school, a college, an Academy.

In 1988, the first Republican art boarding school was opened in Almaty, where talented children from all regions of Kazakhstan began their education in art. Young artists-teachers: S.Maslov, E.N.Mitrofanova, M.Sapargazinov, Zh.Taken, A.Hakimzhanova, H.Myrzahmetova, S.Nakisbekova, K.Zhakupova, G.Madanov, S.Ayazbayev, S.Tolesh, K.Hairullin, B.Mukhamediev, S.Bashirov, K.T. Bekenov, K.Mamyrbayev, N.Temirov, E.Daulbayev, B.Musabaev, T.Popova, full of enthusiasm with pleasure plunged into the creative and pedagogical atmosphere, they programs were developed in the subjects of fine art: drawing, painting, drawing, sculpture, DPI, methodical manuals, lesson plans, etc. A huge educational work was done by the boarding school teachers, who replaced parents for many childrens. Ulukbek Sharakhynovich himself showed tenderness and paternal care, and some of the students affectionately called him “Batya”!

In 1992, Ibragimov U.Sh. for the first time in Kazakhstan establishes the second stage of Continuing Education - Republican Art College. The college was dominated by an atmosphere of creativity and creation: teachers and students participated in city and republican exhibitions, joined the Youth Association of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and then the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan. During this period, the ranks of the college staff were added from among the members of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan: D. Aliyev, B. Myrzahmetov, G. Kasteeva, K. Magavina, S. Karzhaubayeva, R. Bazarbayeva, G. Tasimova, H. Kikimov, F. Zhumasheva, Young graduates came: A.Yusupova, E.Akhmetova, M.Eserkepov, M.Toksanbaev, Sh.Raimbekova, Zh.Koshen, G.Maulenova, D.Amandykova, S.Zhumasheva and others.

The idea of creating the Kazakh State Art Academy (KSAA) - the third stage of continuous art education, which was supported by the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan belonged to Ibragimov U.Sh. In KSAA were transferred to the Department of "Machine" and "Monumental" painting, "Sculptures", "Drawing" from the Theater and Art Institute named after T. Zhurgenov. The faculty was replenished by the National artists of Kazakhstan, the leading figures of the fine arts: K.T. Telzhanov and Kh.I.Nauryzbaev, as well as Zh.Kairambaev, Kistaubaev, A.D. Duzelkhanov, B.E. Umarbekov, B.S. Bolatpaev, M. Kaliev, Suleev, A. Bapanova, S. Bapanova and others.

During five years of work at the Academy, Ibragimov U. Sh. was able to gain prestige among the faculty, thanks to his high professionalism of the leader, and as an experienced manager he was able to unite the teams of three levels.

Subsequently, the Kazakh State Art Academy and the Theater and Art Institute named after T. Zhurgenov united in the Kazakh National Academy of Arts named after T. Zhurgenov.

The exhibition will feature works of art by eminent artists of Kazakhstan - companions and pupils of Ulukbek Ibrahimov, made in various genres of fine art.

At the opening of the exhibition, visitors will be shown slides of photos dedicated to the memory of U. Ibragimov, associated with his teaching activities.

12.10.2018 The exhibition "We are your contemporaries!" of artists Zulkhainar Kozhamkulov and Abduakhat Muratbayev

On 12 October, 2018 at 16-00 Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Art Gallery ARTSPACEkz invites to the opening exhibition "We are your contemporaries!" of artists Zulkhainar Kozhamkulov and Abduakhat Muratbayev

Any art is an indicator of the culture of society, so painting is of great interest among the public. Art changes people, opens for them many opportunities for personal growth. At the exhibition paintings of two different authors’ stylists - Kozhamkulov Zulkhainar and Muratbayev Abduakhat, who have in their work their own understanding and vision of this world and convey on canvas the peculiarities of national culture and history.     

Zulkhainar Kozhamkulov is an artist, sculptor, teacher, philosopher, member of the Union of Artists of the USSR, Honored Artist of the International Association “Art of the World” NICOR, and Honored Artist of the Republic of Kazakhstan - one of the most active artists of the modern Kazakhstani artistic space. His work has a deep philosophical meaning. The artist is concerned with the eternal theme of love, love for his country; he is fluent in techniques aimed at uncovering subtle psychological nuances, the depth of a person’s spiritual life. The exposition presents portraits of prominent people of Kazakhstan – Dinmukhammed Kunayev, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, Olzhas Suleymenov, as well as Kazakh music and cinema stars Shaken Aimanov, Shamshi Kaldayakov, Bibigul Tolegenova, Roza Rymbaeva, Batyrkhan Shukenov and others. The artist depicted his characters in sharp lines, bright contrasting colors. “These are our heroes of the twentieth century - the century in which we grewn up. I chose those whom I know well. Not personally, but somehow, they mean a lot to me” explains artist Zulkhainar Kozhamkulov.  

Abduakhat Muratbaev is a painter, graphic artist, member of the Union of Artists of Kazakhstan, Honored Worker of Culture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, participant of republican, foreign and regional exhibitions. In 1981 he graduated from the Shymkent Art School and in 2004 the Kyrgyz Pedagogical University in Bishkek. At the exhibition the bright paintings of the author will be presented. In his works, Kazakh national images harmoniously merge with the flow of modernism. Every detail of the picture is important and has its own meaning. Abduakhat believes that “true values are what surround us, and we should carefully treat to each other, nature, then it will reciprocate us ...”.

Compositionally, the exhibition consists of two parts: paintings and sculptural art objects. Particularly attractive are decorative metal compositions located at the entrance of the museum.

The contrast of bright optimism in the paintings of Muratbayev and the philosophical reverie of Kozhamkulov's works reveal the many-sidedness of modern art in Kazakhstan, which is especially interesting for the modern viewer. The exhibition presents 80 works.

The exhibition will last until 31 October, 2018.
