“The art of Talant Ogobayev attracts with its diversity of creative impulses. The artist is always different. Lyrical and contemplative easel painting coexists with revelations of conceptual gesture. Admiration for the beauty of the material world organically coexists with abstract detachments from it, in pursuit of more intense expressiveness” (A. Voronina). The artist's works are held in the Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts named after G. Aitiev, the State Tretyakov Gallery, as well as in museums in neighboring and distant countries. He was awarded the Silver Medal of the VDNH of the USSR.
