 Merited artist of Republic Tyva, Sainkho Namchylak, who received this title in December, 2009, has branched out from the realm of musical experiments into the realm of visual arts.
Now she draws with tea, coffe and kefir.
And not just on paper, but even on goat skins. Sainkho’s exhibition “Sounds of the Upper World” opened on March 5 in Moscow at Elena Vrublevskaya’s gallery, at the address Rozhdestvenskiy bulvar, 19. she will work until March 27 Tuesdays – Saturdays from 12 to 20 hrs. The entrance is free.
 As the organizers of the exhibition announced, not just the new drawings in beverages will be introduced, the subjects of which resonate with rock petroglyphs, but there will also be several shaman’s drums made by Sainkho.
And naturally, there will be music in the exhibition hall: a special limited edition of Sainkho’s new vinyl disc, which was made especially for the exhibition.
The creativity of the indefatigable experimenter Sainkho Namchylak, who managed to organically unite Tuvan khoomei with avant-garde jazz improvisation, and who has long ago turned from simply a native of Tuva into a citizen of the world, is greatly appreciated by this same world.
Peter Gabriel, the founder of the Real World studio, even said: “No body would know what Tuva is, if it weren’t for Sainkho.”
Sainkho is not afraid of risky experiments – with music, with visual arts, even with herself.
And by this originality she conquers.
