This past Saturday, Zaya opened his exhibition Steppe Warriors at the Shooting Gallery. This was the Zaya’s first solo show with us, and the event even included a performance by the artist’s friend who was dressed in Mongolian folk costume while playing a traditional instrument. The paintings at the show included images of geishas juxtaposed to narratives of fighting and hunting scenes from the time of Ghengis Khan. Steppe Warriors will be open for viewing until January 5, 2024.

Please view more photos of the event after the jump.
