Mongol zurag (literally ‘Mongolian painting’) is a form of painting that synthesises elements of Tibetan Buddhist tangka painting, ink painting and equestrian art of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125). Following the Mongolian Democratic Revolution of 1990, Mongol zurag has been taken up by a new generation of artists who use it to address the contradictions of their lives. 

As economic liberalisation has precipitated rapid urbanisation in Mongolia, half the country's population now lives in its capital city, Ulaanbaatar. This shift has presented significant social, infrastructural and environmental problems for a traditionally nomadic people, and Nomin’s gold leaf and collaged paintings allude to these changes. Echoing a Buddhist Mandala, Labyrinth game depicts the city’s dense grid of streets as a literal maze animated by a host of dramatic, comedic and romantic scenarios.
