The work of the Mongolian poet G.Mend-Ooyo encompasses many different
genres, and can be seen as an example both of the traditional and the
contemporary.

G.Mend-Ooyo’s “The Steppe” exhibition opened at the
Art House Center, just off Tourist Street (Julchin Gudamj), on July 5 until 16^th
July,  10am-5pm daily.

In 2006, Mend-Ooyo established an annual calligraphy
exhibition.  In 2010, this took the form
of a solo exhibition entitled “The Crystal Temple of Meaning,” and
the following year he created, with D.Battömör, “Mother Earth,” which
had a profound effect on those who saw it.

“Image from Poetry” is Mend-Ooyo”s melodic
exposition of oriental poetics, and its individual pieces celebrate the natural
world, revealing his deep connection with the traditions of Mongol culture.

This year”s exhibition focuses on contemporary
calligraphy and in it, we can feel how, as well as showing the melody of
colored inks, the texts are able to reveal the rhythm of the artistic heart.

Mend-Ooyo s born into a nomadic family, moving across
the steppe, and his poetry reveals the movement of his ideas, as though across
the broad and endless steppe.  This year,
then, he has chosen to name the exhibition, with pieces from among the
Mongolian Academy of Poetry and Culture”s collection, “The Steppe.”
