Searching for Tranquility

15 August 2009

Khin Zaw Latt is one of Myanmar’s most talented younger artists and the winner of the 2008 Myanmar Contemporary Art Awards.

Born in 1980, Khin holds a degree in Painting from the University of Culture in Myanmar. Following the Award, Khin Zaw Latt continued to explore the theme of crowds and the emotions they create in us – both as participants and observers.

“I was very affected by the sight of crowds of local people, getting on the ferry to cross the river here in Yangon. I could feel the hardship and struggle of their everyday life, but also how they just got on with it."
Khin Zaw Latt speaking about this new series of paintings.

This series of stunning paintings has an unmistakable contemporary ambience about them, but they also make reference to the very earliest Myanmar art. The treatment of light and shadow, and the overall “flat” appearance of the paintings is reminiscent of early paintings on the walls of pagodas and stupas, before painting styles had evolved as a result of European influence.
