The Mongolian Artists' Prints Touring Exhibition, organized by the Mongolian Artists' Association, was shown all over China. Its purpose was to spread the knowledge of Mongolian history, life and rituals to the Chinese people nationwide, and to demonstrate the high level of printmaking of today's artists from the Autonomous Province of Inner Mongolia. The exhibition presented the most famous artists of Mongolia. They proclaimed themselves in a poetical statement as the "Mongolian winds from the grasslands, now blowing all over China". artelino is proud to have obtained the chance to show and offer 24 woodblock prints from this exhibition in auction # 467, running from October 24 until October 26, 2007.

In 2005 Han Daiqin's art prints "Buetiechina" and "The Sound of the Horse-headed Fiddles" were selected as the front cover picture of the Elementary and Secondary School's 'Reading Text Book' of Inner Mongolia. Like many other Mongolian artists Han Daiqin likes to show images that glorify the days of Genghis Khan, picturing war-men on horses and other historic scenes. Other prints show a romantic view of the daily life of the nomad people like scenes from wedding ceremonies or Mongolian rituals.

She uses mostly bold colors in large flat areas, and sometimes black key lines as art friends may know from Japanese woodblocks of the 19th century. Lu Hongmei's editions are very small, and she works in the technique of reduction woodblock prints. This makes her print works most interesting for serious collectors and art investors.
Tong Jingfeng - born 1963
Tong Jingfeng is a wonderful and great story teller who uses the technique of woodblock prints to get his message across. His stories are the glorified history of the Mongolian people from his view. But different from other artists, his focus is not narrowed to the period of Genghis Khan and his sons, but his images cover the history of Mongolia since the bronze age.

The artist has attracted some worldwide attention: His prints have been exhibited in Japan, the United States of America and in Korea.
