High-ranking guests attended the opening ceremony, including Marat Tagaev, Deputy Minister of Culture, Information, and Youth Policy of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Liu Jiangping, the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan. The exhibition also gathered renowned artists, experts, and enthusiasts of Eastern aesthetics.
Speakers noted the importance of such exhibitions for strengthening humanitarian ties between the two countries. The horse, chosen as the central image, holds special significance for both cultures, symbolizing will, nobility, and unquenchable energy. Historically, this animal played a key role on the Great Silk Road, connecting various civilizations over the centuries. The exhibition takes place in the Year of the Horse according to the Eastern calendar, adding additional symbolism to the event in the context of developing bilateral relations.
Visitors will be able to see about 50 works created by outstanding masters from China. The paintings are executed in the classical ink technique and represent a variety of styles — from detailed realism to vibrant abstractions. Each of the paintings carries deep philosophy and uniqueness of the Chinese artistic tradition.
The exhibition will be open to all interested parties until March 24. The venue is the National Historical Museum, located at: Chuy Avenue, 203.
