"PAINTINGS OF 2010" EXHIBITION OPENS

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ A new exhibition has opened in the Khan Bank Art Gallery for the public audience. The exhibition is being jointly displayed by S.Dolgor, a Mongolian Artist, and Mark Schmitt, an artist from Germany.
S.Dolgor was born in Ulaanbaatar city in 1973. She studied traditional painting in the Academy of Arts in Ulaanbaatar city. In 2008, the artist moved to Berlin, Germany and displayed her works in an international art event. Mark Schmitt is an internationally recognized artist being highly ranked in the contemporary art. He was born in Hamburg in 1963.
S.Dolgor has displayed her works showing traditional Mongolian ger (national dwelling) life style in her paintings that were produced with traditional painting patterns. The changes that have occurred in urbanized ger areas of the city are explained from her view and angle. The artist explains about the momentums expressed and shown on these works that they are a result of good realization and sensitivity of nature and her internal world and their interrelations. With her works previously produced, S.Dolgor shows the current lives in ger areas of Ulaanbaatar city. Born and spent her childhood in a ger district of Ulaanbaatar, she is full of good memories on social and collaborative life minds. As the city expands, the semi-nomadic mentality is changing.
In his works Mark Schmitt shows different periods of time using various colored layers in a meaning of considerable spatial expressions went through in the past. The artist is interested more in the patterns, where the colors are gradually invented by themselves from a variety of imaginative figures created on canvas cloth. In addition to his paintings, the sculptures contain spatial feelings. He first visited Mongolia in 2005. Since then, he has displayed his works to the Mongolian people including the individuals interested in Mongolian art.
In terms of a similar focus on space, two artists are alike with that they both select and make Mongolia as their focus. Space or spatial concept is the way of looking at the world through feeling the basic spatial structure rather than abstract and realistic arts. To put contrasting patterns/styles into one seems similar to putting or installing different binoculars in a camera.
The exhibition is unique as it shows how totally different or contrasting works of two different contemporary artists are matching by creating mutually dissolved culture. The exhibition will last August 25, 2010.
