Rimma Gagloeva

April 2013-Alif Art Gallery prepares for its second Central Asia exhibition since it opened end of January 2013, featuring artist Rima Gagloeva for the first time in the region. This exhibition  reinforces  Alif's mission to bring more awareness to Central Asian art and culture.
The upcoming exhibition will run from 22 April till 22 May 2013 and will be launched in an event with details to follow.

Rimma Gagloeva was born and raised in a tribal village. Since childhood she viewed & absorbed a deliberate and sustained rhythm of village life, with its sort of ritual and poetic verse of work and holidays. The beautiful Ossetian mountains & landscapes she grew up with from her childhood remained the main subject matter of her work for a lifetime. They are full of visible energy and power. 

       
Over the past three decades Gagloeva's style of landscape painting has undergone fundamental changes. It appeared on her canvas as a reflection of the changes undergone in the relation between man and nature. Nature itself has always been a reflection of harmony and beauty for Gagloeva.For Rimma the mountains are not just a Grande collection of stones or a unique exotic creation of underground forces, but a native & sincere natural habitat. This is why in her work often features small tribal villages tagged in the mountains, and human figures in the fields.
Founded by Natalya Andakulova, Alif Art Gallery is located at Damac Park Tower, as part of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Alif Art Gallery's mission is to highlight Central Asiaian contemporary visual arts and show commercial and non-commercial exhibitions. The gallery represents emerging and established artists from Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
