Aung Myint has been at the forefront of Myanmar’s art scene for over 40 years. Myint experiments with medium and form to explore themes of cultural identity and personal memory. His practice often questions the place of small collectives within larger communities, both within and beyond the borders of his homeland.
Atelier JI was honoured to produce three ‘Mother and Child’ editions for Connecting Myanmar to support their Scholarship Scheme. The editions were printed on handmade Shan paper sourced by the artist in Myanmar and brought to London especially for the project.
Aung Myint’s Mother and Child I - III was first exhibited at AGAINST THE TIDE: Myanmar Art in the Moment, presented by Karin Weber Gallery in 2024 at Coningsby Gallery. The exhibition is Karin Weber Gallery’s debut show in London, featuring nine of Myanmar’s leading modern and contemporary artists.
