The exhibition 'The Princess Who Loves Wolves' is taking place at the Ver gallery, immersing viewers in the poetic and fantastic world of the Mongolian artist. The exhibition will run until April 25, reports MiddleAsianNews.
The exhibition features works that reflect the artist's reflections on the interaction between wild and domesticated nature.
These pieces serve as a figurative exploration of the connections between language, myths, dreams, and life, where the animal world occupies a central place.
The works are presented in various formats, including painting, sculpture, artist's books, video installations, and sound works. The artist employs a semi-fictional translation from ancient Mongolian script, animalistic painting, binary code, and English to connect human reality with invisible realms.
A key concept of the exhibition is the rethinking of the names Sara and Connor as "princesses" and "wolf lovers," which forms the main narrative of the display. Among the significant works is "Falcon" (2011), exhibited at the Singapore Art Museum, and "The Snake," his longest project, which has been developing since 2015 and is held in the Kadist collection. Tögöldör approaches the creation of art as a process of imaginative exploration, creating complex visual systems that combine maps, field notes, and symbolism.
Tögöldör Yondonjamts views the creation of art as a process of exploring language, myths, memory, and the invisible forces that shape human and non-human worlds. His works often feature complex visual systems based on thorough research of the environment and social contexts.
The nomadic culture of Central Asia is an important foundation of his creativity. Tögöldör explores the relationship between the domesticated and the wild; his works symbolize reflections on social and economic changes in Mongolia while maintaining a poetic dimension.
The themes of time, distance, and connection to remote or invisible spaces are constantly present in his works. By blending factual data with imagination, Tögöldör creates visual systems that blur the boundaries between science and myth. His interest in the animal world is also significant; in his works, animals act not only as objects of observation but also as "agents" with their own languages and meanings, opening new perspectives for coexistence.
Tögöldör holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in New York, USA.
His works have been exhibited at international events, including the Ulaanbaatar Biennale, the Museum of Natural History of Mongolia (2025), as well as the Singapore Art Fair (2024) and other significant exhibitions. This year, he was selected as one of the artists representing the Mongolia pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale.
