The artists, who have been depicting the corona days and isolation process for the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, is continuing to express their feelings with painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphite, and print art.
According to the information provided by the Press and Public Relations Directorate of Near East University, artist Talgat Zhumagulov commented on his work for the Cyprus Museum of Modern Art; “In this composition, the main idea of the artist is the field. We use north, south, east and west horizontal turning points when traveling in daily life. In this case, we oppose them against each other. Therefore, the four holes in the statue have curved and flush frames. The vertical volume of the statue is reproduced with parallel repetition in the opposite direction and shows the duality of our world.”
