A personal exhibition of Zorikto Dorzhiev entitled “Steppe
History” was opened on November 22 in London, in one of the most
famous British museums – Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition
showed more than 50 art objects – paintings, drawings and

from 2005 to 2011, as well as his new books an video
projects. Among them there are the images of warriors
and beauties, old men and children, horses and birds, different
scenes from everyday life.
The exhibition was supported by the Embassy of the Russian
Federation in the United Kingdom. Alexander Yakovenko, the
ambassador of Russian in the UK, delivered a greeting speech during
the opening ceremony that took place in Victoria and Albert Museum
and was organized by Khankhalaev Gallery (Moscow) and London
PR-agency Red Square (organizers of Mikhail Gorbachev’s anniversary
ceremony in Albert-Hall. London). The guests of the exhibition had
a chance to listed to guttural singing performed by
world-famous master Abler Muezzin. This type of singing is unknown
in the Western world. A fashion parade inspired by the motives of
Zorikto’s art took place.
METROPOL Group acted as one of the sponsors of Zorikto
Dorzhiev’s exhibition. The team of the company’s London office -
Metropol UK – and invited clients of the Group appreciated the
organization of the opening ceremony.
The exhibition arose interest on the part of both Western
visitors and representatives of Russian-speaking
circles residing in the UK. Paintings and other works by Zorikto
Dorzhiev are stylistically different from the common-run art forms
that people are used to, and that is why even the spoilt British
art lovers got deeply interested in them. The visitors learned
about the beauty and richness of Buryatia, its national traditions
and peculiarities. In his art Dorzhiev celebrates the beauty of his
motherland and Buryatia people. The support of the Russian Embassy
gave the event an official touch – Russian regions must be known
outside the Russian Federation. Buryatia is interested in the
attraction of investments and business contact and always welcomes
tourists that are attracted by the pearl of this area of lakes and
rivers – the lake of Baikal.
The exhibition of Zorikto Dorzhiev’s works is open in London
gallery HayHill from November 24 to December 24.
The Group includes six battery plants and business units developing and introducing new technologies, and distributing products.
