| Name: | Aung Ko | |
| Nationality: | Burmese | |
| Aung Ko is a renaissance man – he is a director of independent short films, a potter, a performance artist, and an installation artist. His 2006 show, with an impressive mix of pottery and paintings, launched him as the most promising artist of his generation. Since that exhibition serious collectors and museums have begun to acquire his work. Over the years he has become prolific and he is perhaps the best travelled of the Myanmar artists and this experience is reflected in his work. His recent paintings are portraits of anonymous women, based on old hand-painted photographs. In his own words, “I want to catch the colours of a moment in history”. |
