McLean, VA
Yerkezhan Abuova is a visual artist who focuses on oil painting, sculpture, and public art. Originally from Kazakhstan in Central Asia, Abuova moved to the United States during her early childhood and is now based in Northern Virginia. She depicts surreal environments that explore the themes of memory, cultural histories, femininity, and interpersonal relationships. Combining painting with sculpture, her works often feature a series of invented female characters and nostalgic imagery. She received her BFA from Cornell University in 2023. Abuova has participated in group exhibitions at the Education Department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, and in the galleries at Cornell University. Her mural projects can be found throughout upstate New York and in Washington DC.
