ABSOLUTE ARTS

NEW YORK---The largest exhibition in the United States of works by Dashi Namdakov, a renowned Buryat-born artist and sculptor, "The Nomad, Memory of the Future," has been extended through July 28. Curated by Marina Kovalyov, the exhibition is on view at the National Arts Club and features over 60 pieces including bronze sculptures, graphic art and jewelry. The exhibition showcases the artist’s extraordinary craftsmanship and highly original style, which blends visual art traditions and techniques of the East and the West. Brought up in a culture where Buddhist religion and Shamanic mythology intertwine, Dashi draws the inspiration for his creative output 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.
