Van Gogh & Gauguin Visit Bagan by M.P.P Yei Myint

date

17-06-2026 To 12-07-2026

Many traditional artistic treasures of the East have been preserved as cultural heritage within the ancient cultural landscape of Bagan.

Likewise, many works by Gauguin and Van Gogh, key figures in the development of modern Western painting, have endured as part of the world’s artistic heritage.

The artist who combines these Eastern and Western legacies into contemporary creations is none other than M.P.P Yei Myint.

Born in Myingyan, educated in Mandalay, and having struggled to make a living in Yangon, M.P.P Yei Myint eventually discovered Bagan. To this day, he lives there with his family and continues to create paintings every day without fail. His discovery of Bagan was much like Gauguin’s discovery of Tahiti. In Bagan, he was able to produce a remarkable outpouring of new artistic works.

Even before settling in Bagan, Van Gogh and Gauguin had already exerted a profound influence on M.P.P Yei Myint’s life. While studying at art school in Mandalay, he learned about the lives of these two artists through books and films. He deeply admired and respected those who had sacrificed their lives for art. As a result, he paid tribute to Van Gogh and Gauguin by incorporating their influence into his own paintings, blending it with his personal style and ideas.

He began painting the first work in the “Van Gogh Visits Bagan” series in 1998. The series was exhibited once in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2009 and again in Yangon, Myanmar, in 2016. Among all of M.P.P Yei Myint’s creations, the Van Gogh Visits Bagan series is one of the most distinctive and most popular with audiences. It became known not only within Myanmar but also internationally.

The exhibition “Van Gogh and Gauguin Visit to Bagan” became the first exhibition in which he combined the artistic influences of both Van Gogh and Gauguin with his own distinctive style. This series, which took more than five years to prepare and create, includes monumental groups of paintings. Just as the exhibition title brings together the names of the two master painters and Bagan, many of the artworks themselves are displayed and conceived as interconnected compositions. Some of the paintings stretch over 30 feet in length.

The large scale of these painting ensembles feels entirely natural. After all, are not the history of Bagan and the artistic legacies of Van Gogh and Gauguin themselves immense in scale? Are they not, in a sense, limitless and enduring?

Van Gogh & Gauguin Visit Bagan” by M.P.P. Yei Myint is a contemporary exhibition that brings together the artistic heritage of Eastern and Western cultures. Inspired by the ancient cultural landscape of Bagan and the masterpieces of Van Gogh and Gauguin, the exhibition reinterprets these influences through the artist’s distinctive style, offering visitors a unique experience that celebrates cultural heritage, artistic innovation, and cross-cultural dialogue.

Tokyo: Before & After Photo Exhibition

date

17-05-2026 To 30-05-2026

Concept

The exhibition “Tokyo Before/After” aims to promote a deeper understanding of Tokyo through the works of Japanese photographers from two distinct periods: the 1930s – 1940s and the period after 2010. By presenting approximately 80 photographs in juxtaposition, the exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to compare the city’s urban landscape, social environment, and cultural identity across different eras, revealing how Tokyo has evolved while retaining elements of its historical character.

The exhibition highlights the significance of the 1930s-1940s as a period during which the foundation of modern Tokyo began to take shape. During this time, photographers utilized rapidly developing photographic techniques to capture the dynamic coexistence of tradition and modernity within the city. In contrast, the contemporary works document Tokyo’s ongoing transformation since the 2010s, reflecting changing social circumstances, the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake, preparations surrounding the 2020 Olympic Games, and the influence of digital technology on photographic practices.

Through this comparison of historical and contemporary perspectives, the exhibition encourages audiences to reflect on the past, present, and future of Tokyo. It further demonstrates the evolution of photographic expression and the diverse viewpoints of photographers who have documented the city over time. Ultimately, the exhibition seeks to strengthen international cultural understanding by providing insight into Tokyo as a multifaceted metropolis and by fostering appreciation for Japanese photography and visual culture.

If We Were in a Parallel World of Dystopia @Prints & Illustrations Exhibition

date

10-01-2026 To 08-02-2026

Description:

A parallel world, also known as an alternate universe or parallel universe, is a hypothetical universe that exists simultaneously with our own but is separate and independent. These worlds, often a plot device in fiction, can be near copies of ours with minor differences in history or laws of physics, or entirely fantastical realms. The concept is explored in scientific theories like the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which suggests that every quantum decision causes the universe to split into multiple branches. 

“IF WE WERE IN A PARALLEL WORLD OF DYSTOPIA,” a haunting and graphically intense exhibition that charts the obsessive and terrifying landscapes of societies gone awry. Featuring the works of new contemporary artists, this collection utilizes the stark, narrative force of printmaking (etchings, screen-prints, linocuts) and illustration (pen-and-ink, digital illustration, graphic novel panels) to build a compelling visual archive of hypothetical tyrannical regimes.

The concept hinges on the idea of a “parallel world” rather than a predictive future. By framing the setting as an alternative reality, the artists are freed from the constraints of pure science fiction, allowing them to draw from historical injustices, contemporary politics, and universal fears of AI. The artworks presented will act as visual artifacts from these non-existent worlds, showcasing their unsettling architecture, the desperate lives of their inhabitants, and the propaganda that keeps the system running.

 

Featuring Artists:

  • Thee Oo Thazin 
  • Siang Pi 
  • Aung See Phyo
  • Pyae Phyo Thant Nyo 
  • Er Yi
  • Alco Htoo
  • Morris John 
  • Wunna Aung
