Artist reveals his inner mind
Kyaw Kyaw Tun
YOUNG Mandalay artist Ko Jeu
will show 30 of his oil paintings at ACD
Gallery in Bahan township until
April 11.
All his paintings are abstract
style and it is difficult to understand
what subject he is trying to
expose as he explains it, "I try to
illustrate what appears in my
inner mind."
His solo show Jeu Born, reveals
that his artworks are certainly weird.
He mostly uses red, yellow,
black and white to catch his running mind.
You will see the fields and
brush work of colour in his paintings. He
said, "I don't take painting
style seriously. What influences me is
colour - how to use colours to
get what I want on canvas."
Although he has a Master of
Arts degree (Myanmarsar), Ko Jeu is a
self-taught artist. He has
participated in nearly 10 group shows in
Yangon's well-known galleries.
"Since I started painting, I
tend to create artworks that reveal one's
real mind," he said.
He is also interested in music
and released an album of his
compositions, performed by Iron
Cross, in 1996. Titled Her Electric
Face, all songs on the album
were original songs and his own creation
music. How, his attention
turned to making paintings.
"Making songs in a studio is
not easy and it's not free enough, you
know. Players, song writers and
I had to make a lot of discussion to get
satisfaction on a song. But in
painting, I can create paintings at
anytime without discussing with
anyone. Making paintings is more
freedom," he said.
"I love freedom. I always make
my paintings with free mind." he added.
