/MONTSAME/ At the invitation of the Mongol art gallery, renowned Buryat artists Evgeny Bolsoboev, Chingiz Shonkhorov, and Bayaskhalan Bazarov are staging their
exhibition in Mongolia for the first time. The ‘Nomads of Asia’ exhibition
showcasing over 50 art works of the artists was launched at the Mongol art
gallery on November 7.
Paintings
depicting the lives of nomads, landscape paintings and bronze sculptures are on
display at the exhibition that will be open until November 20.
“I try to
represent the nomadic culture, life, and customs through art. I created my
sculpture ‘Mongolian Wrangler’ for the days of my youth. I would like to mount
my sole exhibition in Mongolia next time,” Honored painter of Russia, Russian State Prize laureate Bayaskhalan
Bazarov said at the opening of the exhibition.
Honored
painter of Russia, People’s painter of Buryatia Chingiz Shonkhorov said among the
art pieces are those with meanings left up to the exhibition visitors’ points of view besides
the historical and mythical paintings.
Head of the
Buryat Division of the Russian Artists’ Union Evgeny Bolsoboev, “Given my enthusiasm
about graphic design, I combine traditional methods with graphic design for my
creations. I used to explore scholars’ books and works about shamanism when the
practice was prohibited during Soviet times. Quite some pieces of mine under
that theme have been brought here.”
