Monument U

Description

Author: Bapishev, Bakhyt. 1958-2019
Decorative-symbolic composition depicting a group of stones arranged in a pyramidal form atop a conventional architectural pedestal-like structure. The upper part of the composition is rendered in a restrained grey-black palette, while the lower section appears as a mosaic-organized surface. The composition is built on the contrast between monumental stone forms and the rhythmic geometry of the plane. The painting manner is conditionally decorative, characterized by a generalized treatment of form, emphasized texture, and attention to surface structure.
