AUNG MYINT: A NEW ERA, 1995 - 2021 | Karin Weber Gallery | 11 Jun – 9 Jul 2022
Save to My OculaAung Myint (b. 1946), one of the most influential and pioneering Myanmar modern artists since the 1970s, is celebrated for his unique contributions to the transition of modern art in postcolonial Burma to a more contemporary trajectory.
He rejected Western-based artistic practices of realism or impressionism to embrace concepts, form, colour and line, while incorporating elements from Burmese script and Bagan temple paintings alongside his personal history, to produce one of the most unique collections of modern painting from Southeast Asia. This exhibition is another milestone in the gallery’s twenty-plus year history of showcasing art from Myanmar.
