ERDENE SUKHBAATAR
Born in 1991
Graduate from the Mongolian State University of Culture, artist Erdene Sukhbaatar is one of the brightest representatives of emerging talents of Mongolia. Erdene’s earlier painting style, which was predominantly characterized by geometric shapes and intense colors, has gradually transformed into softer, yet dynamic, also more abstract and monochromic form. Erdene frequently illustrate tangled bodies and ribbons, creating in a single continuous brush stroke, technically look like similar to Mongolian traditional calligraphy. But unlike the calligraphy, the usage of oil paint requires longer time for creating lengthy curves, seemingly challenging his physical, mental and emotional balance. Spontaneously and playfully executed, black ribbons seem disconnected from monochromic abstract background, rhythmically swirling in the air, giving a sense of three-dimensionality as well as resembling Mongolian traditional patterns.
