Buddhist inspired sculpture by Russian artist Dashi Namdakov

NEW YORK---Opening on June 16 in NYC is Dashi Namdakov's "The Nomad, Memory of the Future" at the National Arts Club. Presented by the Russian American Foundation, the 60 piece exhibition will remain on view June 16-30, and includes bronze sculptures, graphic art and jewelry as part of Russian Heritage Month. Born in 1967, in Transbaikal, the borderlands between Russia and Mongolia, and trained as a sculptor at the Krasnoyarsk Academy of Fine Arts, he was brought up in a culture where Buddhist religion and Shamanic mythology intertwine. Dashi draws inspiration for his creative works from Buddhist imagery and subjects, the traditions of the Turkic peoples of Siberia, the Buryat epic legends and tales, and the ancient art of China and Japan.
