On May 24, a rare Matryoshka doll display will open in Moscow’s AFIMALL City shopping center. Each of the six- to 13-meter-tall installations, which were displayed during the 2010 Russian National Exhibition in Paris, is shaped like a Matryoshka, the famous nesting doll that has come to symbolize Russian culture.
They incorporate the northern Russian tradition of birch bark weaving and the miniature lacquer painting technique from Fedoskino, Mstyora, Kholui, and Palekh.
Each genre of traditional folk art the artists chose when decorating their works has its own unique history reflecting the old masters’ vision of the world and beauty.
This is the first time that the ancient nesting dolls have been replicated on such a large scale. The artists soaked the wood in water to help them achieve the exact curves they needed.
