Georgian National Museum Shalva Amiranashvili Museum of Fine Arts invites you at the opening of the exhibition "Steppe" by Aigana Gali.

The exposition features 26 large oil paintings by the artist incorporated in the fine art show Steppe on the Kazakhstan's grasslands.

The Steppe is an all-encompassing experience that invites viewers through paintings and sound into an extraordinary, boundless world. Award-winning BBC composers Olivier Behzadi and Jimmy Green have created a hypnotizing mix of Turk and Central Asian contemporary music specifically written for the exhibition.

Aigana Gali strips away superfluous human constructions and re-centers on a core element that has survived through time: the Kazakh steppe. Historically the domain of tribal nomads, the steppe is ingrained with traditions, legends, mystical shamanism, and breath-taking landscapes, all symbolically interpreted by the artist. Artist explains: "I'm a child of the steppe. When immersed within the barren lands, a deep feeling of nothingness washes over you, but it's the perfect ‘nothing'. The knowledge of understanding one's self is graciously met when immersed in such a place where only thoughts can fill the air around you, and you feel the true proportion of your personality against this enormous void. The paintings in this series depict neither a particular space nor a precise landscape. Each work is an open possibility; an attempt to make visible a cosmogony of the steppe richly embroidered with timelessness and infinity. The absence of contours can suggest form; colors and mood change constantly according to the light."
