Uzbekistan | Turkey | Miniatures | Gunj

Our very own Girl From The Golden Horn, a.k.a. Gunj the International Adventuress and Temptress is arranging a show of miniatures by Uzbekistan painter Jahongir Ashurov. The exhibition will be held in Istanbul either this Spring or early Fall.

Gunj in Mongolia

Jahongir Ashurov does both Bukharan School Miniatures and Persian Style Miniatures. As soon as the final dates for the Istanbul show have been announced I will post them so you can make your travel and hotel reservations.

Here are some samples of his work. Some of these are works in progress, without the final touches.
