About the Item
'Burmese Classical Dancers' by Aung Aung Taik, 1981.
Kinnari and Kinnara, Myanmar, SFMA, San Francisco Art Institute, PFA
-----
Signed lower left, 'Aung Aung Taik' (Burmese, born 1948) and dated 1981.
Exhibited: San Francisco Cultural Center, 1981.
A major painting by this celebrated Burmese Modernist, painted when the artist was 33 years old. This substantial work was prominently exhibited at the artist's inaugural one-man exhibition in the United States, held at the San Francisco Mission Cultural Center in 1981.
A pioneer of modern art in Myanmar, Aung Aung Taik first attended the State Academy of Art in Rangoon where he studied under two of Burma's leading contemporary artists, U Ba Kyi and U Ngwe Gaing. Early in his career, Taik exhibited successfully throughout Burma and Japan. In the 1960s however, his style moved towards greater abstraction, the government put increasing pressure on him to conform to representational norms and confine himself to officially approved subject matter. Seeking greater artistic autonomy, Taik left Burma in 1972 and immigrated to the United States where he continued his studies in California at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Taik has exhibited with success internationally, including in Japan, Brazil, Mexico and Burma and, in the United States, in Arizona, New York and California and elsewhere. On viewing his first one-man show at the San Francisco Mission Cultural Center in 1981, Tom Albright commented in the San Francisco Chronicle that Aung Aung’s paintings '...suggest some of the strange stage sets of Francis Bacon carried to a greater degree of abstraction…".
After 30 years in the United States, Taik returned to Burma in 2001 to attend his first solo exhibition in his native land. He has since returned annually and holds both one-man shows and group shows in Rangoon and Mandalay. He also conducts art workshops and forums at the Htanyeiknyo Art Center in Mandalay and is a member of the modernist New Zero Art Group.
