RANGOON — British artist Kate Bowen, who has resided in Rangoon for the past three years, and Burmese artist Ko Ko Naing have joined forces for an exhibition at Nawaday Tharlar Gallery on Gyaw Min Gyi Street in Dagon Township this month.

Illustrating their shared fascination with Rangoon’s historic architectural legacy, the works depict aspects of buildings and structures in Burma’s former capital; reflecting how the city has undergone rapid changes in the past few years under increasing pressure from commercial developers.

While Ko Ko Naing works exclusively in acrylic, Kate Bowen occasionally uses oils, giving a rich depth and color to her work.
