6th Anniversary of Suvannabhumi Art Gallery
October 9 - 30, 2010
Suvannabhumi Art Gallery is proud to present another‘Exhibition of Myanmar Artists’ at the Chiang Mai University Museumand Art Centre. The first one, to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary ofSuvannabhumi’s opening, was held in July 2007 where the works of 26artists were shown.
Mar Mar or Elizabeth Chit as she known to her friends andclients, has committed herself to promoting artists from Myanmar. As acountry which not so long ago emerged out of self-imposed Socialistisolation, the Myanmar artists, in spite of their strong talents anddedication to their work, are lost in the international art market. Ittakes people like Mar Mar to rally the artists and present their works tothe world.
This year, to commemorate its 6th Anniversary, Suvannabhumipresents the works of 25 Myanmar artists. They are all famous andsuccessful painters, well regarded in Myanmar as well asinternationally. All of them have participated in annual international
We Welcome You Again
shows and museum presentations, as well as various solo exhibitsarranged for them by various international galleries.
Of these artists, Kin Maung Yin and Win Pe are the second-lineleaders of Myanmar’s modern art movement. The first leaders were UKin Maung (1911-1983) of Mandalay and U Baji Aung Soe (1924-1990)of Yangon. Kin Maung Yin is best known for his purity of colours,especially in his non-objective works while Win Pe.
In this exhibition you will see Kin Maung Yin’s clear andtranslucent colours and the strength of Win Pe’s lines and brushwork.The other artists in this show, in alphabetical order, are:
Aung Myint, who recently changed from doing simple lines tomore complicated and colourful work; Kyee Myint Saw, whose urbannight scenes capture the mood of the city and the mystery of darkness;Lu Minn’s stark shadows almost, but not quite, overwhelm hisshimmers of lights; Mg Di, who has a passion for enigmas withincolours; Min Wae Aung, who has a deep understanding of tranquillitythat comes though abandoning attachments; Min Zaw, who capturesvitality with a few quick lines and lively colours; Moat Thone, whosewhimsical structures makes his work unique; Moe Nyo, who portraysaloofness, grandeur and loneliness with his Myanmar scenes; MyatKyawt, who shows playful and delightful themes; Nay Myo Say,whose inherent love for traditional motifs is always a foundation of hisworks; NCS (Nyein Chan Su), who uses startlingly vivid colours andwild but controlled brush strokes; Paw Thame, who now lives in theUnited States but has not for a moment let go of his passion for ThingsMyanmar; Pe Nyunt Way, who feels a deep connection to the country’spast; Po Po, avant-garde artist, usually at the forefront of change but
with a modesty that allows his works, and not him, to be known;San Oo (MS), a man of few words producing works that shout of histalent; San Minn, who makes strong social commentaries on canvas;Sandar Khine, the only woman artist in the show, with her powerfulportrayals of the female mystique; Sonny Nyein, one of the earliest, andfew modern sculptors of Myanmar and one whose works of purity inform are bold and aggressive; Sein Myo Myint, a famous photographerwho now presents his views through brush and paint; Tin Maung oO,whose quick lines catches the changes of daily life in an instant; Win PeMyint, whose paintings are like meditation sessions; MPP Ye Myint,who is a master of time and space; and Zaw Win Pe, last but not least,who evocates the power of nature from his canvases.
