Nomin Bold is well known as one of the leading Mongolian artists, trained and specialized in Mongolian traditional painting Mongol Zurag, and works as a freelance multidisciplinary artist in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. With contemporary Mongol Zurag, she brings the critical development of Mongolian society and politics in the global age expressed. The focal point is also to internal conflicts of own identity of the young generation as well as to friction between tradition and modern age. Nomin’s wide-ranging oeuvre - encompassing drawing, installation, film in recent years - is deeply rooted in childlike curiosity coupled with the excitement of exploring new worlds and encountering otherness. However, the most distinctive aspect is the unexpected combination of heterogeneous elements sampled from conventionally unconnected categories and disciplines are aesthetic masterpieces full of detailed references and symbols. Buddhist imagery in Nomin’s art serves as motifs and symbols of past traditions, now placed amid the contemporary realm of superfluous commodification. While the artist takes into account the intrinsic Buddhist meaning that she selectively brings into her works, it is rather her inquiry into the nature of the tradition itself and how it can be juxtaposed, superimposed, or envisioned in the modern world that motivates and inspires her unusual compositions. Such queries and inspirations imbue the art of Nomin with a mystery that demands inquisitive and unfaltering attention. Her latest installation Pupa refers to the threat of environmental destruction reversed into a threat towards the industry through configurations of gas masks woven by the artist and installed in a manner to speak about rapid urbanization. Born in 1982 in Mongolia, she studied visual arts at the Mongolian University of Arts and Culture in Ulaanbaatar. Numerous exhibitions in Mongolia and abroad, including The 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art in Australia; 2nd International Art Biennial in Bodrum, Turkey; 14th Documenta at Kassel, Germany.
