Curatorial Statement: 

In the BlueSun Contemporary Art Center of Mongolia, visual artist Shijirbaatar’s works have continuously stood out with their unique tone and profound narrative depth.
“Intersection,” his fourth solo exhibition since 2010, brings together more than 30 works that reflect both the early and later periods of his artistic journey. Rather than simply marking a timeline of his works, the exhibition represents the evolution of his creative thinking, a profound shift in worldview, and the intersection of these elements.

Shijirbaatar’s early works depict the nomadic way of life, the vastness of the steppe, and the essence of human existence in harmony with nature. In contrast, his more recent works explore the inner emotional shifts and transformations of individuals in an era of urbanization and information.
These two extremes intersect in his art, intertwining themes such as decline and revival, conflict and reconciliation, the past and the present. In terms of artistic technique, painter Shijirbaatar has freely experimented with various methods such as drawing, collage, and mixed media, continuously expanding the scope of his expression.

A significant feature of his work is the incorporation of old photographs reimagined through collage, transforming these images into not only moments from history but also carriers of cultural heritage and links in the chain of collective consciousness across generations.
 
Additionally, the female figure frequently recurs as a central theme in his work, symbolizing aesthetic expression and the strength of the inner spirit. The presentation of the “Intersection” exhibition marks a significant event in introducing one of Mongolia’s prominent contemporary visual artists to audiences in the People’s Republic of China. It serves as an essential bridge for deepening cultural exchange between the two countries and creating new intersections through the language of art. By intricately expressing history, tradition, and the inner world of the individual, Shijirbaatar’s works are expected to inspire fresh insights and emotions in viewers from both nations.
