Curated by Louis Ho, Richard Koh Fine Art presents a group exhibition featuring Burmese artists Aye Ko, Aung Ko, Htein Lin, Richie Htet, Maung Day, Nge Lay, Soe Yu Nwe, Tun Win Aung and Wah Nu. Problematising stereotypical depictions of Myanmar in art, the works on display are devoid of popular Burmese icons such as monks and landscapes. Instead, with mediums ranging from photography, mixed media painting and video, ‘Essentialist Images’ highlights relevant themes such as colonisation and authoritarianism. With this curation, the exhibition reconsiders the identity of Burmese art in the twentieth century and beyond.
