Joint Exhibition of Renowned Artists A. Gutlyyev and B. Annamyradov Opens in Ashgabat
23 Apr. 05:34The Exhibition Gallery of the State Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan is currently hosting a collaborative showcase featuring the works of two prominent figures in Turkmen art: master carpet designer Ada Gutlyyev and sculptor Babasary Annamyradov. The opening ceremony brought together a diverse audience, including art historians, established artists, students, and cultural figures. This exhibition highlights the sophisticated evolution of national visual arts and provides a comprehensive look at the individual styles of these two masters.
Ada Gutlyyev, a distinguished carpet artist, focuses his creative efforts on the Akhal-Teke horses, the pride of the Turkmen nation. One of the standout pieces in the collection is a meticulously crafted carpet depicting the extensive lineage and genealogy of elite Turkmen stallions. Gutlyyev's expertise in translating biological and historical data into intricate textile art has frequently earned him first-prize honors at annual national competitions, cementing his reputation as a leading figure in contemporary carpet weaving.
Complementing the textile displays are the sculptural masterpieces of Babasary Annamyradov, whose featured works include gilded sculptures of Akhal-Teke horses. His compositions are rich with symbolism, reflecting the nation's era of prosperity and dynamic progress. Notably, the exhibition includes unique oversized sculptures of apples, some of which are adorned with precious stones. As a three-time winner of the President of Turkmenistan’s "Türkmeniň Altyn asyry" award, Annamyradov continues to push the boundaries of sculptural form and material.
Cultural experts believe that this joint exhibition serves as an invaluable "school of experience" for aspiring young artists and students. In addition to the physical works on display, visitors can view video presentations detailing the extensive career and artistic philosophy of Babasary Annamyradov. By showcasing the achievements of these People’s Artists of Turkmenistan, the event fosters a deeper appreciation for traditional aesthetics and encourages the next generation of creators to explore innovative artistic expressions.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
