‘A JOURNEY OF CONNECTION’: A WINDOW EXHIBITION BY KURALAY MEIRBEKOVA
12.10.-2.11. 2023
A Journey of Connection is an exhibition that delves into the human experience and the emotional connections that bind us together. The artworks in this exhibit showcase abstract depictions of embracing figures that bridge the gap between artistic expression and the universal language of human connection.
These pieces serve as a reminder of the power of empathy, love, and understanding in an abstract and interconnected world. The essence of these artworks lies in their ability to illustrate the unseen love and support between people, emphasizing the significance of staying connected even when we are physically far apart. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the beauty of human connection that transcends all boundaries, reminding us that we are all on this journey together.

About the Artist
I am a contemporary artist from Kazakhstan, based in Helsinki. The focus of my interest in painting is people, their emotions as well as ordinary objects around us. I love interpreting a broad spectrum of raw emotions, experiences, and states of mind by distinctive visual language. Passion for exploring my inner artistic nature through various painting techniques is a continuous process in my life that began from early ages. For the past seven years I’ve been exploring one-line technique. There is something intrinsically captivating and honest about the nature of continuous line drawing. My background in architecture helped me to employ line with brevity, clarity and confidence, informed my art with a proficiency in adapting composition, space, and structural elements with spontaneity and freedom of expression. This approach naturally spread to other media, like video animation, metal wire installations and textile art. I approach every project as an opportunity to discover the truth of an individual’s essence. For that reason, I often combine my lines with other materials, colors and textures until I get the desired effect.
GAP WINDOW is a window exhibition project initiated by Globe Art Point in 2021. The concept was created for the members of GAP Creatives Database with an aim to provide a unique opportunity to exhibit and/or experiment with their own artistic work and ideas. The project does not follow any specific theme and it can be done in various forms, from painting directly on the windows through displaying poetry, paintings, photographs, illustrations to streaming media and digital art.
