Khatai Arts Center to host exhibition of plein air works

An exhibition of plein air works will open at the Khatai Arts Center on October 10 at 17:00.

The exhibition aims to promote public interest in studies and plein air works, encourage artists to observe nature directly, and develop approaches to accurately capturing its real appearance.

Around 200 professional artists submitted more than 400 works to the exhibition. The theme and technique were open, allowing artists to present works in their own styles.

The participants include two artists from Belarus, two from Kazakhstan, and one each from Finland, Algeria and India.

Although many participants received high scores for two or more works, the organizers applied a "one artist - one work" principle at the next stage of the selection process. The approach was intended to bring greater diversity of individual artistic styles to the exhibition.

Works by invited artists will also be displayed to add further variety to the exhibition.

An online catalogue of the exhibition is also available.
