Excellent Art Collection from Kazakhstan and Other Former Soviet Republics
Музей Искусств Республики Казахстан им. Кастеева的点评
点评:The A.Kasteev art gallery is situated a short walk away from the National stadium.
There is a large collection of art from Kazakhstan as well as an entire floor dedicated to work from the former Soviet republics.
The latest exhibition was by young local artist Sayan Baigaliyev, whose work I found very striking.
I enjoyed very much the other Kazakh art. Some of the paintings had been animated which was an interesting concept.
There was a great sculpture called Meeting by Erkin Mergenov and the paintings by Zhanatay Shardenov (known as the Kazakh Van Gogh) were excellent too.
The art from the former Soviet republics was really good too, especially the work eulogising the benefits of collectivism.
There is also a fine collection of local tapestries and carpets on show.
I spent a couple of hours here and the admission fee was 150 tenge (75p).
The only down side was the insistence on leaving your coat in the cloakroom, which seems to be the norm here (had the same issue in Minsk). Managed to lose a woollen hat as a result of this !
翻译:A.Kasteev 艺术画廊距离国家体育场仅几步之遥。
这里收藏了大量哈萨克斯坦的艺术品,还有一整层楼专门展示前苏联共和国的作品。
最近的展览是由当地年轻艺术家 Sayan Baigaliyev 举办的,我发现他的作品非常引人注目。
我非常喜欢其他哈萨克艺术。一些画作被制作成动画,这是一个有趣的概念。
这里有一件很棒的雕塑,名为《会议》,由 Erkin Mergenov 创作,Zhanatay Shardenov(被称为哈萨克梵高)的画作也非常出色。
前苏联共和国的艺术品也非常好,尤其是那些颂扬集体主义好处的作品。
这里还展出了精美的当地挂毯和地毯。
我在这里待了几个小时,门票是 150 坚戈(75 便士)。
唯一的缺点是坚持要把外套放在衣帽间,这似乎是这里的常态(在明斯克也有同样的问题)。结果弄丢了一顶羊毛帽!
