German Gref at the opening of Dasha Namdakov’s exhibition.
The opening is called “Transformation” (it will run until December 10) and features thirteen works by Dasha Namdakov. The central figure is the “Dragon”. Dashi prepared this work for the Italian Biennale. But due to international sanctions and complex logistics, the trip to Italy did not take place. But the talented sculpture was received in Altai, in the new five-star hotel “Manzherok” from Sberbank.
The complex has become not only a center for recreation and active sports, but there are also plans to create a modern multicultural space here. Dasha Namdakov’s exhibition is the first sign in this direction.
The opening was opened by the director of Sberbank, German Gref.
– Dashi Namdakov is an extraordinary and original artist. He feels the energy of Altai. What he does is truly a miracle.
We will continue to move in this direction,” said German Gref at the inauguration.
The name Dasha Namdakov is not as well known to the average citizen as, for example, the name Zurab Tsereteli.
Although it is well known abroad. He was received by Elizabeth II. After lunch with the Queen, his monumental sculptures adorned the streets of London. He was visiting the family of Hollywood star Uma Thurman, because he is friends with her father, the head of the House of Tibet, Robert Thurman.
In the early 2000s, an exhibition by Dasha Namdakov was held in Moscow. And in the Hermitage. His works are preserved in many museums in central Russia. In the State Historical Museum, on permanent exhibition. The Manzherok complex is a great place to popularize art. Thousands of tourists from all over the country come here. When the eye delights not only with the fabulous nature of Altai, but also with the original hand-made works of artists, this is harmony.
