Unique among practitioners who trained in Mongolia, Nyam-Ochir first studied painting at the Institute of Fine Art in Ulaanbaatar, and then learned Mongolian calligraphy according to the rigorous program of \u00abBichig Soyol\u00bb. As a result, his art makes us aware that texts can also be images, and images can also be texts. First Stroke breaks new ground as the first large-scale display to focus on this aspect of his artistic practice.<\/span>\r\n\r\nUnlike the black and red ink brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy, the current exhibition features works that use a broad palette to evoke a wider range of emotions and gestures. However, similar to traditional calligraphy, it is not content but rather primarily a negotiation of form, rhythm, and movement that give each work its value.\r\n\r\nNyam-Ochir uses free strokes and movement to create paintings that hover between legibile word and free association. While the works share characteristics of twentieth-century Western abstract painting, he arrives at this point by a different route: through a dynamic exploration of historic Mongolian calligraphic technique, rather than a total rejection of clear form and narrative. Following the moves of his brushstroke, you can reimagine the creative process behind the artwork in front of you.","_en_post_excerpt":"","_en_post_title":"FIRST STROKE","_en_post_name":"first-stroke","edit_language":"mn"},"excerpt":{"raw":"","rendered":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition-taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkhamgallery.com\/mn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition-taxonomy?post=110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
