Edutainment > Zhao Weiguo - born 1962
The art works by Mongolian printmaker Zhao Weiguo are centered around the rural life of Mongolian nomads. His images express his love for the country and the Mongolian people. And sometimes the artist can be quite witty as in "Supernatural Road", showing a cow next to an aspalt road.
The images on this page are link-sensitive and take you to other articles or web sites in which you might be interested.

Gallery of Woodblock Prints by Zhao Weiguo
As a compensation for the poor information we have about the artist's biography and resumé, we want to show you a few of his print works on this page. All prints on display will/were offered in artelino art auctions. As can be seen from these few examples, the style and the subjects of Zhao Weiguo are quite diverse.
Blessing from Grassland
A woman from an ethnic minority in Inner Mongolia is sitting in the grassland beside her funny-looking dog, praying with a smile on her face. She seems to thank god for happiness in her life.
Edition size is 20, and technique is reduction woodblock print.
Girl and Red Cow
This print shows a girl from an ethnic minority of Inner Mongolia, standing in front of a big cow. Both, cow and girl, are with clear contours and have an astonishing effect on the viewer.
The edition size is extremely small with only 5 copies.
Heaven
The old woman is from an ethic minority in Inner Mongolia. She wears a scarf of white silk named "hada", which is used in important ceremonies in Mongolia. Only people who are respected by others can get a "hada". The background shows the lot of experience the old lady has, due to her life in the grassland.
Small edition of only 8 impressions.
Supernatural Road
In former times, Inner Mongolia had no asphalt or concrete roads. The artist named the asphalt road "Supernatural Road" because of the economic benefit that roads bring to Inner Mongolia. The transportation by cars becomes easier and faster. This somewhat surreal combination of a realistically rendered cow and an ashalt road attracts immediately the attention of the viewer.
Edition size: 8.
