Welcome to our FAIRYTALE PAINTING EXHIBITION website. The website
contains nine largish canvasses by
HAKIM TURDIEV from UZBEKISTAN (former USSR), who took his inspiration
from PIM DIJKSTRA from the NETHERLANDS, author of the fairytale "THE
YEAR OF THE GREY PANTALOONS".
HAKIM TURDIEV was also inspired by the late mediaeval PAINTER PIETER
BREUGHEL THE ELDER,
quotes from whose paintings feature prominently in HAKIM's paintings.
The first exhibition of HAKIM's paintings,
as well as the fairy-tale book containing reproductions of the paintings
was called:
" BREUGHEL THE ELDER IN MADELONIA"
and took place on september 19th 1999 at the GALERIE UTRECHT,
oudegracht 340, 3511 PM Utrecht, Netherlands
(Website:www.galerie-utrecht.com
or emorren@galerie-utrecht.com).
Further exhibitions have been planned in Hamburg, Germany and The
Hague, Holland. The first exhibition proved a great succes. The text
of the book appears in parallel text in nine languages, i.e. English,
Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, Hebrew and Japanese.
It has been published in a limited edition and has sold very well
as a collector's item. It is accompanied by an easy-listening CD.
Those interested in future exhibitions may enquire at GALERIE UTRECHT
