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.
