In collaboration with Myanmar Fine Art International, Art Seasons Gallery presents the Myanmar Masters Exhibition- A Burmese Private Collection, featuring eight Myanmar Master painters: U Lun Gywe (b. 1930), Maung Aw (Ko Aw)(b.1945), Lu Min (b. 1947), Tin Win (b. 1952), Moat Thone (1954), Min Wae Aung (1960), Zaw Win Pe (b.1960), and Ba Khine (b 1960).

This group exhibition brings in one of the greatest living Myanmar master painters, U Lun Gywe’s unique impressionist-style painting, a combination of orientalist discipline and western artistic practices; Tin Win’s versatile abstract paintings engaging the topic of religions to realistic figurative paintings and portraits of different hill tribes of Myanmar; Zaw Win Pe’s naturalistic landscape, which emphasis on the emotive quality of a painting by focusing on colors as an effective agent of expression, and other Myanmar Masters’ works.

After the annexation in Myanmar in 1885, Burmese painting underwent a transformation, mostly derived from European realism. These innovations, however, were not meant to undermine Burmese aesthetic foundations but to enhance them. This exhibition intends to present Myanmar master painters’ unique artistic expressions on different themes, including traditional landscape, figurative portrait and religious painting from Myanmar’s cultural, geographical, and historical perspective.
