ANAU-MYNAU 2023
by Таңдалған суретшілер
ANAU-MYNAU is a biennale of young artists of Kazakhstan. The untranslatable Kazakh word brings together everything that takes place in the mind of the contemporary creator: information overload, present-day anxieties, and the persistent desire to create.
The project features sculptures by the group DULYGA_SCULPTURE (Rinat Abenov, Yerbol Sarsenbayuly, Begzat Orynbekov), large-scale watercolor urban landscapes by Lizaveta Antropova, and philosophical abstraction by Marat Abishev, working in graffiti and mural art.
The biennale combines irony, meditative inquiry, and philosophical reflection on contemporary reality, presenting the energy of a new generation of artists in Kazakhstan.
Суретші туралы
Бірқатар көрме жобаларында «Таңдалған суретшілер» деген атау ұжымдық және кешенді экспозициялар аясында ұсынылған авторлар тобын белгілеу үшін қолданылады. Мұндай формат көрме бірнеше көркемдік тәжірибенің өзара әрекеттесуіне негізделіп, бір орталық авторды бөліп көрсетуді көздемейтін жағдайларда пайдаланылады. Қатысушылардың нақты тізімі және олардың жеке өмірбаяндық мәліметтері әрбір нақты жоба сипаттамасында беріледі. Ұжымдық атауды қолдану жарияланымдардың құрылымдық анықтығын сақтауға және көркемдік тұжырымдаманы айқындауға мүмкіндік береді.
Куратор жазбасы
This is how we named the exhibition of young artists from Kazakhstan. With this untranslatable Kazakh word, we sum up ALL that is going on in the minds of contemporary creators. Every second information attack, confidence/doubt about the future, waiting for the viewer's (ideally the customer's...) reaction, and... an overwhelming desire to create and make the world a better place. The latter is the “motto” for artists of ALL time. Despite EVERYTHING, artists have not died out like mammoths because they are no longer needed by society, but they “brazenly” are still being born, not to mention creating! By processing emotional information, artists create something that never existed before and... that will go down in history. It is about art, beauty, and hope. This art is represented by sculptures of DULYGA_SCULPTURE creative group, which includes talented, hardworking, and diverse in their style young sculptors: Rinat Abenov (group leader), Yerbol Sarsenbaiuly, and Begzat Orynbekov. Busts (sculptural portraits in the classical sense), monuments, small plastics, reliefs, and... unexpected interpretations both in technique and in material. Batyrs from fairy tales and legends appear in a new light and new colors. The oriental beauties intrigue, and the generalized images of modern heroes make us smile. Lizaveta Antropova conveys a completely different understanding of art. Balanced spaces of watercolor landscapes (quite non-camera format and depth!) reflect the energy of the capital. New buildings, cranes, hidden pieces of the old town, bicycles in the snow are a meditation on the search for spirituality in the modern world. Lizaveta seeks and finds as well! Not everybody succeeds, believe me. Marat Abishev is a professional graffiti artist. The size and shape of the projects he takes on are of no importance. Whether it's a mural, a canvas, a car, it doesn't matter. What matters is the thought, energy, feeling, and aesthetics! The rest is technique. It's for these reasons that portraits are hidden in abstract compositions. The experienced viewer will find them. Marat handles form and color like a philosopher, a professional thinker working on the issues of the worldview. An irony, a meditative quest, and a philosophy. Everything all at once.
