Preview of artist D. Dorjderem's 8th solo exhibition "INCOMPLETENESS THEORY":

Artist Dorjdaram Davaa, the eldest son of weightlifter Tseren’s Davaa, was born in 1981 in Ulaanbaatar. He spent his childhood under the socialist system and came of age during Mongolia’s transition to democracy. From a young age, he was drawn to the arts—starting to sculpt at just five years old. Driven by this passion, he pursued formal education at the “College of Industrial Fine Arts” and the “Institute of Fine Arts,” laying the foundation for his professional artistic career.

His works are part of the permanent collections of institutions such as the National Art Gallery of Mongolia, the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Japan, and various local and international private collections. In 2008, his piece “Voice in Space” won the People’s Choice Award at the "Highlight Works Competition" organized by the Singapore Art Museum. More recently, in 2024, his work “In Space” was recognized as Mongolia’s Best Artwork of the Year, and another of his creations was added to the National Art Gallery of Mongolia's collection.

From May 17 to 30, 2025, the artist will present his eighth solo exhibition, titled “INCOMPLETENESS THEORY, at the National Art Gallery of Mongolia. This new body of work builds on Dorjdaram Davaagiin’s creative journey, conceptual vision, and past exhibitions, introducing a fresh continuation in content and thought. The exhibition explores the human mind and consciousness—situated at the boundary between the rational and the irrational—through a range of contemporary mediums including sculpture, painting, abstraction, and mixed techniques.

The exhibition title, “INCOMPLETENESS THEORY” is inspired by 20th-century Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems. The term "theory" here refers to Gödel’s insight into the nature of truth—statements that are true but unprovable—an idea that deeply resonates with Dorjdaram’s worldview and artistic philosophy. His work does not attempt to prove, but rather proposes a shared space for emotion, intuition, and insight, continuing to evolve from this starting point.
