Born 1946, Myanmar
Currently lives and works in Myanmar
Aung Myint, born in 1946, has been painting in a distinct semi–abstract style since the early 1970s. He is considered a pioneer of the Rangoon Modernist Art Movement The artist’s paintings have always been spontaneous reactions to the canvas and have emphasized three elements: dimension, line and colour. To him, these are the essentials by which he infuses subconscious or unconscious emotional value into his works.
Mother and child motifs are a subject matter the artist revisits time and again and which hold special meaning: Aung Myint lost his mother at the tender age of four. His artistic practice also extends to installation and performance art.
Academically a Psychology graduate, Aung Myint is essentially a self-taught artist. His early supporters, diplomats at American and British consulates in Yangon, ensured he had a steady stream of art supplies. Today, the artist’s works can be found at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, National Gallery Singapore, National Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan, and the Macau Performance Arts Museum.
