Indepth Arts News: "Portraits by Min Wae Aung" 2008-01-15 until 2008-02-06 Karin Weber Gallery SoHo, , HK Hong Kong
"They live simple lives. They know and love beauty. They make themselves beautiful with things around them"' says Min Wae of his muses. Flowers worn "preciously" and hand woven cloths adorn their proud selves, indicating a confidence in their natural surrounding. Min Wae's subjects possess bravery while living politically turbulent but physically simple lives.
The artist's well recognized preoccupation with light and shadow continues through this collection, making it hard to believe he was once a true traditionalist in style and form. Born in Danubyu, Burma in 1960, Min Wae Aung studied Fine Arts in Rangoon and has since traveled all over the world for his exhibitions. His work is featured by the Westfries Museum, Netherlands and the Singapore Art Museum and is regularly showcased at art fares. Min Wae Aung‚s works are held by both private and corporate collectors worldwide.
