Mongolian artists find inspiration in european cityscapes
We introduced you to the Europe Notes exhibition by famous artists Sh.Chimeddorj, Ts.Narangerel, L.Ganbold and Ts.Enkhjargal in the previous issue (No.035).
The exhibition opened last Friday at Tsagaandarium Art gallery.
Every house has its own history. If houses could talk, they would say things about builders and inhabitants.A house is also a mirror of culture and history.This is especially so in old stone buildings which may narrate mysterious and wonderful stories.
Mongolian state honored artist Sh.Chimeddorj, UMA honored artists Ts.Enkhjargal, Ts.Narangerel and L.Ganbold traveled to Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Italy, Holland and Austria last October.
During their journey they were inspired by European cities’ architecture, atmosphere and beauty.
“We presented the‘Nature Paintings’ joint exhibition last year at UMA. Our friend J.Od really liked the exhibition and decided to sponsor the Europe trip” says Ts.Enkhjargal.
All four artists are aged between 50-55 which means they have already found their art style and form. Their artworks often depict wild nature, culture, native land as well as some contemporary elements. In other words, they all have unique styles combining traditional and modern art.
Tsagaandarium Art Gallery’s curator and director, Emeline Bettex has said that “This Europe Notes exhibition show an immense amount of talent and creativity. They used a variety of colors and forms in their paintings. Mongolia is a steppe country; there isn’t really any old style architecture. These artists were greatly inspired by European buildings, stone houses and unique atmospheres like the Venice water streets and the relaxed atmosphere in Paris. The exhibition works may become masterpieces and will play a big role in Mongolian art history.”
Previously, Sh.Chimeddorj, Ts.Enkhjargal, Ts.Narangerel and L.Ganbold opened their solo exhibitions and took part in joint exhibitions in European countries. When asked about the diversity of this trip, Ts.Narangerel answered, “Many foreign artists paint Mongolian nature, life and people. Furthermore, many artists reflect European life and cities through their paintings. And we thought it would be good for Mongolian artists to paint Europe and travel around the continent. However, some Mongolian painters draw European cities, nature and people, none of them opened exhibition like European notes It is also very important for the Mongolian audience see these paintings.”
L.Ganbold said, “We are not a printing machine. When we were travelling and painting, many European artists and audiences met with us. For example, one French artist invited us to his home and let us travel to the Alps. It shows that even our though our nationality and language is different, the soul and mind of all artists is alike.”
The exhibition runs until 25th April.
