Ep.89 | Myanmar-based artist Thynn Lei Nwe on The Forgotten Ones, how memories inform art, and the expectations of artists.

From Yangon in Myanmar, artist Thynn Lei Nwe talked with me about her past and current work, how memories inform art, why she sleeps during the day, the significance and meaning of animals and plants in her work, how Covid motivated her art practice, and the expectations of artists in Myanmar.  Thynn Lei Nwe (b.1991) is based in Yangon and studied Fine Arts, specializing in Painting at Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore from 2012 to 2014. Nwe's practice explores different mediums of painting and sculpting with the interest in relations between memories, humans and places in a form of surreal works. Since 2008, Nwe has participated in exhibitions in Yangon, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Hong Kong, and a solo exhibition in 2018 in Yangon. She was the former residence artist at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2010 and Rimbun Dahan, Selangor, Malaysia in 2016.  More on www.thelastsupper.asia ----- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christie's Education⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Enjoy 15% Discount and Join a virtual or in-person art course, lecture, workshop, city or art gallery visit.
