RANGOON — The first solo exhibition of by Burmese artist Htoo Aung Kyaw gives a solid representation of the depth and feel of his work, reflecting the influence of a childhood spent amongst the numerous temples of Bagan.
The artist, a philosophy graduate from Meiktila University and an alumnus of Rangoon’s State School of Fine Arts, is showcasing 27 large canvas works of vibrant and emotive colours, evoking a visceral sense of time and history.
Su Su, the exhibition curator, describes Htoo Aung Kyaw as “an avid reader with a very strong interest in history—his work is a fusion of his philosophy studies, his deep interest in history and Buddhism.”
Htoo Aung Kyaw’s exhibition is on display from Friday until the end of August at the Pansodan Scene art space, located at the corner of Pansodan Street and Merchant Road in downtown Rangoon.
