The Moscow Museum of the East presents an exhibition of works by Babasary Annamuradov
"Singer of the Perfect World", colleagues say about the People's Artist of Turkmenistan Babasary Annamuradov. His creative path is a constant search for harmony. Her reflections and reflections, carefully and painstakingly collected in a unique collection, these days give their radiant warmth to visitors of the sculptor's personal exhibition at the Moscow Museum of the East.
"It is impossible to imagine modern Ashgabat without its monumental sculptures. Annamuradov Babasary have been decorating the city for many years. His works can be found not only in Turkmenistan, but also in many museum and private collections around the world. But this exhibition is a bit about something else: small sculptures from the personal collection of the author, which he created in maximum freedom. This is noticeable not by formal searches, but by intonation – lyrical, chamber, intimate ...", - the TV channel "Russia-Culture" tells the audience about this exhibition.
– In general, art itself is a difficult thing. All the time you need to learn, to comprehend new things. If a person thinks that he knows enough, then he just stopped, he can't go on. Art without end, it's a spiritual value, you can't comprehend it," Babasary Annamuradov says.
He became a sculptor, one might say, by chance: a rural guy, loved to draw, came to enroll in an art school in Ashgabat, and there someone advised him to go "sculpt from clay" to the sculpture department. Then Babasary Annamuradov continued his studies in Tashkent, then went on a trip to museums around the world to see the best samples with his own eyes. He even visited the studio of the British sculptor Henry Moore.
Mastering the technical skills of art, he adapted them to the figurative structure of his people. But there is no quotable easternness here, but there is an inherent concentration, meditativeness, poetry inherent in the East...
The exhibition features about 20 sculptures made over the past four decades. There is also a rare artist's graphics for the visitor's eye. Portraits and landscapes, like old worn-out photographs, involve the search for familiar faces and symbols.
