Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ On February 17, a solo exhibition of painter E.Otgonbayar opened at the AB43 Contemporary Gallery in Zurich, Switzerland.
Painter E.Otgonbayar has been living in Berlin, Germany since 2005 and promoting Mongolian traditional fine arts in Europe. He has held exhibitions in many countries such as Japan, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, India, Switzerland, Moldavia, Poland, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Germany.
His works are being kept in several museums, institutes and private collections including the National Art Museum of Moldavia, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. When he was in his home country, he studied Mongolian traditional painting and researched at historical sightseeing places. Specifically, he explored the essence of creations made by Buddhist lamas, spirit and the soul of their paintings by comparing their various methods and techniques. Western art critics and art lovers highly appreciate his works saying his works are inseparably connected with oriental fine arts, thangka painting, Mongolian fine arts, and aptly combines oriental and western traditions.
Also, miniature art is a primal trend of his works which means painting little pieces. Mongolian traditional fine art has a close connection with miniature art and paintings of Buddhist deities are clear evidence. In this meaning, Buddhist deities' paintings make up a substantial part of his repertory.
A solo exhibition of the painter will be open in Zurich until March 24.
