Akanaev Amandos Atibekovich. Kazakhstani artist. Member of the Artists Union of Kazakhstan (1978). Member of the Board of the Artists Union, chairman of the section of painting (1980 - 1986). Full member of the International Association of critics and art critics at UNESCO (1986). Academician of the Academy of Arts of Kazakhstan (2006). Laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of literature and art (2010). Awarded numerous diplomas, prizes of the Artists Union of the USSR, certificates of honour of the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR. Fellow of the Academy of Arts of the USSR. Born on 21 March 1949 in the village of Enbekshi, Almaty region. In 1968 he graduated from Almaty Art School named after N.V.Gogol (modern Almaty College of Decorative and Applied Arts named after Oral Tansykbaev). He studied under very strong brush masters - Makum Kisamedinov, Mukhit Kalimov, sculptor Vagif Rakhmanov, Tulegen Dosmagambetov and other talented graduates of the central art universities of Moscow and Leningrad. The artist's creativity was influenced by the dialogue in Almaty with Sabur Mambeyev, Salikhitdin Aitbayev, Isatay Isabayev, Oralbek Nurzhumayev. During his creative life, the artist created a unique and original style of ‘neotraditionalism’, synthesising the easel art traditions of Europe with monumental plastic art heritage of the nomads of Asia. The artist creates relief by hand, prepared special solutions of oil paint, varnish and sawdust, which gave viscosity. Amandos Akanaev came to the creation of neotraditionalism, relief painting by means of colours and metal thanks to the influence of my mother. She was a folk master, in the hungry 30s she saved the family by knowing how to make a saddle (this is also sculptural leatherwork), was engaged in chasing jewellery, sewed clothes. The gene of her talent, craftsmanship was passed on to Amandos and his brother, children and grandchildren. In Kazakhstan, Amandos Akanaev was the first to include metal in a painting. Paints did not give that effect of golden colour, which was important to the artist, and he switched to metal - bronze, brass, copper, aluminium, which weighs the weight of the work up to 60-70, and even 200 kilograms. The world of his paintings is a grandiose artistic chronicle of the culture of nomadic Asia, presented in colour and images. The artist's works are represented in the collections of the largest museums of the world, including the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Arts of the Peoples of the East (Moscow), the State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan named after A. Kasteev, the Presidential Centre of Culture, museums of Astana, Pavlodar, Kokchetav, Museum of Contemporary Art Villafames (Spain), Baltimore Museum of Art (USA), as well as in private collections in the USA, Germany, Russia, England, France, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Denmark, India, Pakistan, Egypt. скрыть
