From December 1, 2017 to January 14, 2018 in the halls of the Victor Bronstein Gallery (Irkutsk) there will be a personal exhibition "Through the Elements" by the famous artist, jeweler, gunsmith Zhigzhit Bayaskhalanov (St. Petersburg).
The exhibition of the master in Irkutsk in the halls of the Viktor Bronstein Gallery is a kind of professional result of recent years. The exposition includes more than 30 exhibits, among them there are small bronze sculptures, table compositions and monumental sculptures, and, of course, a collection of jewelry knives, which can be considered Zhigzhit's calling card.
The master comments: “Initially, the knife is the repository of the soul. He has a difficult function. Those symbols that I use, they reinforce its sacred meaning. Of course, the symbols carry a decorative and semantic load. The knife itself, with or without ornaments, is a sacred attribute.”
It is easy to see traditional motifs in all the works of the author. It is fundamentally important for Zhigzhit to preserve and develop national art. Incarnated with great skill with the help of silver, gold, elite woods and precious stones, his work is truly amazing.
