Artist Biography

Gegee Ayurzana(b.1998, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) currently based in Amsterdam. In 2021, she received a dual BA in Fine Arts from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague and Art History from Leiden University, the Netherlands. In 2023, she finished her two-year residency at the artist institution De Ateliers in Amsterdam.

Gegee Ayurzana’s works revolve around gestural ways of painting on sculptural forms. Using brush movements as the subject itself, her work initially explores different surfaces and shapes, to question the conventional narratives around what makes a painting. Inspired by the raw creative urge of cave painters, Ayurzana’s practice is driven by the idea of an artist’s role as a mediator or a tool (rather than the western idea of a genius creator) to explore the existence of a ‘cosmic creative force’, which operates beyond the creative limitations of an individual artist.
