September 29 – October 10, 2006
Opening reception: September 29, 2006 at 5 p.m

XanaduART gallery is pleased to present a joint exhibition by brothers Batzorig Dugarsuren and Batkholboo Dugarsuren entitled “Line”. The exhibition showcases abstract paintings by Batzorig and sculptures by Batkholboo. Both artists have graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts, Ulaanbaatar.

In his works “Red cross”, “Exodus” and “Puzzle”, Batzorig has highlighted the traditional symbolism of wooden puzzles, an important part of nomadic way of thinking. The use of such traditional symbols is contrasted with Batzorig’s highly abstract style. In comparison, Batkholboo also deals with traditional motifs in his work: he chose to display an abstract sculpture entitled “Shaman” as well as various sculptures of horses and people in traditional clothing. Thus, the two artists have created a fusion of tradition and modernity, a “Line” connecting the old and the new.

XanaduART gallery is pleased to present “Resonance”, a joint exhibition by ceramics artists N. Sukhburen and U. Odmaa featuring ceramic works and sculpture. Both artists have graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts with a ceramics major, and have participated in multiple exhibitions in Ulaanbaatar. The exhibition showcases more than 20 sculptures, 10 ceramics wall decoration and 2 installation works. Almost all of the sculptures presented depict a lonesome female figure, which is a recurring theme throughout the exhibition. Sukhburen and Odmaa have taken their ceramics background to a new level by incorporating many different elements into their exhibition: Sukhburen’s freely executed sculptures are complimented by Odmaa’s ceramic paintings, while the atmosphere of fragility and frailty is accentuated by Sukhburen’s highly original installations. During the exhibition, the gallery has organized a lecture on ceramics and invited our viewers to experiment with the medium.
