Description

Author: Gumarov, Saken. 1937-1994
A decorative and symbolic composition built on a combination of fantastic imagery, ornamental forms, and conditional space. At the centre, an elongated white figure of a goose with a gracefully curved neck stands out, surrounded by a rhythmic system of lines, silhouettes, and colour patches. The forms are layered over one another, while the space is treated flatly and perceived as a symbolic visual environment. The emerging outline of the writer’s face gives the work a philosophical undertone, linking its imagery with themes of poetry, reflection, and cultural memory.
