Singapore-based Gajah Gallery is delighted to announce its participation at Art Basel Hong Kong 2019, featuring an outstanding line-up of the latest works from some of the most prominent contemporary artists based in Southeast Asia: Ashley Bickerton, Erizal As, Jigger Cruz, Li Jin, Mangu Putra, Rudi Mantofani, Suzann Victor and Yunizar.
Alongside this, the gallery will feature in the specially curated Kabinett sector—showcasing the works of Bagyi Aung Soe, the father of Burmese modern art. Working primarily in illustration, Aung Soe eschewed the commodification of art as an elitist luxury, instead aspiring to be a politically and socially conscious cartoonist. His incarnation of the archetype of the tortured, impoverished genius, alongside his pursuit of an art removed from market concerns and allied with spiritual transformation, earned him both the derision of Myanmar's authorities and the respect of the country's foremost intellectuals.
