Anehmohammad Tatari, a Turkmen painter, was born in Gonbad-e Kavus. This painter's works deeply connect with traditional Turkmen culture and art in terms of originality and color richness. He entered the Faculty of Art and Architecture of Islamic Azad University in 1987, and after receiving his bachelor's degree, he also spent a postgraduate course in this field at the same university. His first solo exhibition was the same as his graduation in 1995 in Tehran's Sabz Gallery. The first international appearance of this artist took place four years later at the Lighton House Gallery in London. Since then, this prolific artist's works have been exhibited many times individually in the galleries of Iran, France, UAE, etc. In addition, his paintings are kept in some prestigious international art centers such as the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, London British Museum, Jordan Library Museum, Tehran Art Academy Museum, etc. Along with his artistic work, he is also active in teaching art and works in the Faculty of Fine Arts.
In 2004, Tatari was selected as the selected artist in the second selection of the second Islamic world painting biennial. This painter repeated this success in the fourth international painting biennial of the Islamic world. He has also won awards in different periods of the Tehran teachers' visual works festival.
Tatari often uses mixed materials and the batik technique to create different textures in his paintings. Tatari's paintings have undergone changes in different periods and have reached a colorful abstraction from figuration with limited colors. His recent paintings, formed by rhythmic repetition of lines and motifs, resemble hand-woven fabrics. His art is nourished by his hometown's rich artistic tradition. In terms of subject, he always deals with Turkmen's indigenous elements, such as horses, carpets, and Turkmen women's clothing. In terms of color, he uses authentic colors of local clothes and Turkmen carpets and rugs. The flat arrangement of figures and elements in the foreground of the canvas and avoiding their depth and narrative tone is also a way of combining motifs in Turkmen carpets and rugs. On the one hand, his artworks' narrative and imaginary tone are also connected with this region's narrative motifs of the textiles and, on the other hand, with the tradition of painting and especially the Turkmen style (Aq-Qoyunlu period), which has an imaginary and poetic quality. All of this makes Tatari a painter who is a folk artist at the same time as being modern.
