March 3, 2018 in the Voronezh Regional Art Museum. I.N. Kramskoy begins work personal exhibition of the artist Zorikto Dorzhiev “Steppe story.”

The exposition will feature more than fifty art and bronze sculptures created by the artist from 2005 to 2016.

Zorikto Dorzhiev works in easel painting, graphic art, book illustration, sculpture, and also as a movie artist. The creative method of the master is based on the synthesis of several components, the main ones of which are the figurative tradition of the academic school and the cultural heritage of the nomadic peoples of Buryatia.

The author very carefully and delicately conducts work with traditional national images. He manages to avoid populist replication of recognizable elements, ethnographic or museum reconstruction.

Zarikto Dorzhiev creates images that are saturated with the characteristic properties of the culture of Central and East Asia, such as closeness and immersion in themselves, plastic asceticism and lapidary forms, decorative surface design. The background in his works often become the vast expanses of the steppe. Comprehension of the theme of the Great Steppe is the leitmotif of Dorzhiev’s creativity. And the author defines the image of the main hero-nomad – as follows: “A nomad for me is a contemplative. … This is an artist, poet, philosopher. As a rule, he is alone. ”

Dorzhiev’s artistic language combines the graphic silhouette with the massiveness and weight of archetypal forms. Thus, the visualization of oriental poetics is combined with the reflection of mythic-epic tales. The adequacy of time in this case is manifested in the introduction into the tissue of the product of the complex rhythm of the modern pictorial language.
