[Bangkok,Thailand, May 23] – An emerging Myanmar artist Pyae Phyo Thant Nyo is set to unveil his latest solo exhibition, “GROUND,” a thought-provoking exploration of the connection between life and human-created objects. The exhibition will be on display from 23.05.2024 to 21.07.2024 at GroundBangkok.
“GROUND” delves into the intricate relationship between change and decay, both in living beings and man-made artifacts. The exhibition’s title signifies a deep exploration and observation of these elements. Pyae Phyo Thant Nyo’s work captures the essence of life’s fleeting moments and the transformation of objects over time.
Central to this exhibition is the red light that emanates from the core of the works, symbolizing the significance of rubies. Especially prominent in Myanmar, the artist’s homeland, the vivid red hue of rubies is akin to blood, embodying life and vitality. The high value placed on rubies in trade also signifies the importance of life’s essence, akin to a crucial blood vessel.
Pyae Phyo Thant Nyo’s sculptures embody themes of sacrifice and struggle inherent in life. They portray the strength required to face life’s challenges and the inevitable deterioration of materials as metaphors for human existence. The use of burnt ashes and decayed materials serves as powerful symbols, conveying messages of hope and despair. This exhibition calls on us to acknowledge the continuous cycles of change and growth in our lives. It is a narrative of life’s journey and the transformations that define our world.
“When my voice fades, let your heart sing in the echoes of our shared moments,” says Pyae Phyo Thant Nyo, encapsulating the essence of “GROUND.”
Visitors are invited to experience “GROUND” and immerse themselves in the profound reflections on life and its transient beauty.
