Author: Bapishev, Bakhyt. 1958-2019
An abstract-symbolic composition in which the vertical forms associatively resemble figures in traditional kimeshek headdresses, wrapped like ancient mummies. The stylized silhouettes are arranged in a rhythmic sequence, creating the impression of a group of images united by a shared sacred state. The light textured surface of the figures lends the forms an archaic quality and a sense of ancient memory. The colouristic solution is based on the combination of light-toned figures and a rich, shimmering dark green background. At the bottom left, there is a signature and a date.
