Sydykhanov Abdrashit Aronovich. Soviet and Kazakhstani artist. Member of the Artists Union of Kazakhstan (1967). Honoured Art Worker of Kazakhstan. Laureate of the State Prize in the field of culture and art of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Honoured Knight of the Order ‘Kurmet’. Born in 1937 in the village of Kulagino, Guryev region. In 1965 graduated from the Almaty Art School named after N.V.Gogol (modern Almaty College of Decorative and Applied Arts named after Oral Tansykbaev). His creative way began in the mid-1960s. For 25 years he worked at the film studio ‘Kazakhfilm’ as an artist - director. During this period he created more than 1000 sketches for films. Many critics define the 80s as the period of highest prosperity in the work of A. Sydykhanov. At this time, having changed the manner of his pictorial language, the artist created widely known works - ‘The Song of the Lark’ (1982), ‘White Spring’ (1986), ‘Shepherd of the Raven’ (1987). In 1989, the exhibition ‘Landmark Painting by Abdrashit Sydykhanov’ marked the beginning of another stage in the artist's work, which can be characterised as ‘associative’. Using ‘tanba’ - images of ancestral signs of Kazakhs, figurative elements and symbols of Turkic nationalities, the artist creates a playful field of associations on the canvas. A large series of works was also painted on the subjects of oriental parables. His works are kept in the State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan named after A. Kasteev.
