BAKHODIR JALAL

About the Artist:

Bakhodir Jalal (b 1948) uses color and the symbolic language of lines and fluid forms to enquire into abstract art. Jalal’s abstracts are vibrant surges of energy and expressionistic – almost astrological figurations, evoking a sense of freedom, eroticism and mystery.

The principles of Jalal’s abstraction follow in the path of the Malevitchian pursuit of a ‘non- objective’ painting. On another hand, his visual language is rooted locally within Central Asia and gets its inspiration in a form of Oriental mysticism which cast the material world as an illusory fiction.
