A SCULPTURE OF JOHN IN RUSSIA's ALTAI REGION

There are many sculptures of the famous “Beatle” all over the world, but this is the only one made of marble. Asked why the sculpture has been put in Altai the sculptor replied: “A monument can be placed anywhere. Everyone listens to that band. I live in Altai, why can’t it be placed here?” A foreign ministry spokesman in Altai recently sent an invitation to the unveiling to the UK embassy but has not had a response.
 
The artist doesn’t expect an embassy representative to come. Voychishin started his journey as a creator when he visited the United Arab Emirates and made a Kalashnikov rifle from precious metals. He has lived in the UK, Canada, USA, Kenya, Germany and Argentina. In almost every place, he has organised exhibitions and made sculptures. His works are in personal collections of Hugh Grant, Celine Dion, and Fidel Castro. Now he wants to create the world's first gallery in the mountains. Lennon's monument will be the first piece of it.
