Khin Zaw Latt - What is the future 6

First day of school for this little girl, work of one of Myanmar's most sought-after artists, Khin Zaw Latt. His works have already been acquired by collectors around the world. The gesture of the little girl who touches her ear with her hand by the arm over her head is the gesture that allowed young children to go to school at a time (recent in Myanmar) where the civil status was very approximate. Indeed, less than 6 years, the hand can not reach the ear. Worth to be tested !

Khin Zaw Latt was watching at the renovation of a famous pagoda when he happened to talk with children who were begging for money and selling flowers and postcards to the foreigners on the street. As he has always been interested in the life experience of children, he took pictures and drew sketches of those children. When he got back to his studio that day, he painted the portraits of those children who were largely invisible to many people. He titled these pieces ‘Street Story.’

These portraits are on display at the Retour De Voyage Art Gallery.

The Street Story serie is different from his previous series in terms of technique : 

“This technique matches my account of their lives. There is no certainty in their lives. No one can say what will happen to them. So, I applied the paints loosely. And I didn’t use bright colors, just black, white, and grey—just basic colors. I mainly focused on tone. They are completely different from my previous series,” said Khin Zaw Latt.

KZL has held several solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Italy, Belgium, Germany and more, and won local and international art awards. His paintings sell for thousands of dollars and are popular among international art collectors.
