About the Artists

Timur Akhmedov is known for his colour and its development plays the principal role in his artwork. He creates rich in hues colour compositions where the combination of Asian turquoise, warm ochre and vibrant reds creates a strange and a divine colour composition. Over the many years that led Timur Akhmedov to become one of Uzbekistan’s most respected artists, he had the chance to explore painting in all its forms. The work of Timur Akhmedov is moving from the most textured paintings, in which the pigment reveals the deception of the painted image, to graphic work, which has its strong point in simplicity and synthesis.

Born in 1986, Sanjar Djabbarov, has already made a significant mark on the art landscape, having taken part in the Tashkent International Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art and numerous exhibitions held by the Academy of Arts in Uzbekistan. He has exhibited around the world, holding his first solo exhibition ‘Light and Shadow’ at the Youth Creativity Palace (Fund Forum), Tashkent (the Uzbek capital), in Djabbarov has an experimental approach to creativity, styled in abstract form, making his pieces unique.
