Asia Fine Art is proud to curate this solo exhibition MOVING FORWARD
by Khin Zaw Latt featuring his new series about people.
Khin Zaw Latt won the 2008 Myanmar contemporary Art contest and is a finalist of
the Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2009.

At age of 29, the artist has already established a mature painting style reflecting the ordinary people from Myanmar going about their life in a futuristic style. This new crowd series depicts the mixed emotion and feeling of seeing the life of ordinary people as extraordinary. Through the interplay between calm and chaos, something new is discovered in his paintings which give respect and compassion a new meaning.

QUOTE – “I was very much affected by the sight of crowds of local people, getting on the ferry to
across 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. The more I watched, the more oppressive it was for me, until I
started looking at individuals in the crowd and noticing some things that were lovely to see. That
was relaxing for me, and I list that feeling of discomfort that had been troubling me. I wanted to
express in my paintings both emotions – the uncomfortable pressure of crowd, but also the
individual beauty that sparkles through the ordinary.”

The exhibition will run from 7th
January to 11th
February 2010. The artist Khin Zaw
Latt will be present at a special reception on Thursday 28th
January.
