Personal exhibition of the artist Bato Dashitsyrenov opened in Buryatia with the support of the METROPOL Group of Companies
A long-awaited exhibition of talented artist Bato Dashitsyrenov
(1961-2011) opened in Ulan-Ude Art Museum named after T.S.Sampilov
on May 29.
Bato Dashitsyrenov was born in Huramsha village, Ivolginsk
region of Buryatia. In 1995 he graduated from the St.
Petersburg Academy of Arts named after I.E. Repin, from theater
department. In 1995-1999 he was the chief artist of the Buryatia
State Academic Opera and Ballet in Ulan-Ude. In 2000-2004 we worked
as a chief designer of Art and production plant of Mariinsky
Theater in St. Petersburg, since 2006 was appointed the head of
sculpture workshops of Mariinsky Theatre.
A world in which we immerse with the help of Bato
Dashitsyrenov’s creativity, presents a thousand-year-long history
of ancient Central Asia as if viewed through a thin prism of
postmodernism. Bato said: "I feel close to the manner of the
Impressionists. I am attracted by the art of Central Asia, its
ancient sources. I like "stone images", petroglyphs, masks, shaman
ongons. On the other hand, try to get away from purely ethnic
motives to communicate the state of the soul". The artist
approached his style gradually and tenderly treated his old and
favorite subjects. Among the latter "Angel": an angel behind
the rider’s back - the plot is partly literary, close to the
Christian motives. His tutor, a well-known theater artist Eduard
Kochergin said about the work of his pupil: "Bato has wonderful
plastic, very specific and very Buryat, and thus the true and
universal."
During the last years of his life Dashitsyrenov was working for the
good of your favorite theater. Small exhibitions of his works were
held in St. Petersburg and Irkutsk, but nothing was organized in
Buryatia. The time has come for Buryat viewers to enjoy the
creativity of one of the greatest Buryat artists of our time.
The long-awaited meeting between the artist and his people happened
due to the financial support of the METROPOL Group of Companies,
which is not the first time a co-organizer of such events.
At the opening ceremony Constantine Kazakovich Hanhalaev,
director of Hanhalaev exhibition gallery, stated: "We thank our
friends, the METROPOL company, because they pay so much attention
to Buryat art."
