Cross the Mongolian Prairie: Recent Paintings by Chaolun Baatar At the Tremont Gallery Setp. 1-Oct 15, 2001 Gallery hours: Tues - Sat, 9:30am - 5:00pm, through Augus 31, 2001   "The tension that is felt between color and form is a driving force in his work, but this charge of energy is always applied with nuance as well as directness. While color is a principal player in the artist's work (even to the point where it begins to overwhelm at times the picture plane and thus begins at times to dominate shape and form) the artist is particularly sensitive to the application of masses of hue and tone. Overall, we see the artist's characteristic use of special color is inserted with deliberateness and energy in order for it to exude the maximal amount of vibrancy and presence." ".... There might be figures (or at least a figural element or remnant) in his works but total dissolution is kept masterfully at bay, and purposefully so. In some of his more purely abstract paintings the artist seems to be indwelling within a lucid domain which suffuses the beholder. There is a process of luring the viewer into an associational game within these aesthetic efforts, of attempting to lead the viewer into identifying certain near-representational elements within the frame....We are invited to ...become involved, even aroused at the impact that each picture has on the eye of the viewer." "... the dynamic tension and its release that makes each image vibrate with a stillness and density...the mysteriousness aspect of each work is the psychic residue left between the ineffable distance of conscious reality and unconscious process of recording the beauty of Chaolun Baatar's painterly application. This is the gift, which this artist so provocatively brings to the world and it stems from a rare discernment and the capacity to see beyond sight's everyday parameters                                                    D.C.
