ART EAST

A variety of Kazakh artists are on show in this small gallery, which boasts beautiful canvases with a wide range of influences. You'll find everything from a kitsch steppe décor with a prancing horse to dark, masterfully executed canvases evoking gulags. It's also worth poking around to find paintings by artists who are not well known or who didn't have a chance between the Soviet occupation and the upheavals of independence, but who are not without talent! A visit to our Instagram page will give you a good idea.
