welcome
Khin Myint is a Burmese artist based in the UK. She became well-known in her native country with paintings that ran counter to its visual arts traditions.
Khin was the first woman to have a nude painting hung in public in Burma, a country under strict military control. She was also one of the first to experiment with abstract art in what remains to this day a highly traditional environment.
Khin's current work reveals a unique synthesis of Burmese ethnic art and western abstraction and colour. Her paintings both celebrate the beauties of the natural world and deplore the horrors of the political world.
