Exhibitions abroad: The exhibition of artist-sculptor from Russia opened in New York

American art lovers got opportunity to learn about the unique creativity of the Buryat artist, sculptor and jeweler Dashi Namdakov, who combined a stylish modernity and antiquity of mythical shamanic traditions of Buryatia and Mongolia in his style.

The largest exhibition of the artist in the U.S. opened on June 16 in the halls of the National Art Club in New York. The exhibition presents the artist’s best works for 10 years.

The exhibition “Nomad: The Memory of the future” features nearly two dozen sculptures, 40 pieces of jewelry, 18 samples of small plastic and 12 graphic works.

D. Namdakov, whose works are exhibited in the “Hermitage”, was managed to reflect in bronze, silver, and gold and on canvas the born of fantasy, but clearly reflected national traditions and historical images of old warriors, shamans, oriental women, and animals. The adherence to one much unexpected style permeates this work so that the characters in the sculptures and graphics seem to be the heroes of the same stories, passed from mouth to mouth by many generations of descendants of the nomadic peoples of antiquity. The official opening of the exhibition with the participation of the Namdakov is scheduled for June 20.

Dashi Namdakov was born in 1967 in the Trans-Baikal; he graduated firms the Krasnoyarsk State Art Institute. A few years later, after the discovery in 2000 of his first solo exhibition, the artist was awarded a silver medal of the Russian Academy of Arts, and in 2009 became the laureate of the Russian government prize in the field of culture.
