Portraits, line drawings, caricatures, posters, boxes and postage stamps depicting bands including ‘Kharanga’, ‘Khurd’, music composers, singers and other Mongolian artists, ‘The Beatles’, ‘Pink Floyd’, ‘Queen’, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson are displayed at the exhibition.
The exhibition initiator caricaturist S.Tsogtbayar said “We collected the rock and pop music themed paintings here. Some works were ordered specially for the exhibition. Artists of the rock/pop music and fine arts united for this exhibit. It shows that we can create something truly beautiful if we collaborate. Most artists create their artistic works while listening to the music. Paintings are the visual form of music.”
