CHUU WAI

A female artist with a rebellious gaze

Born and raised in Myanmar, Chuu Wai’s art has an inherent honesty and cultural endurance.  Her artistic impulse found an outlet after a sexual harassment encounter on the streets of Myanmar at the age of 18. Triggering from this traumatic event was a series of works with  many layers which both conceal and reveal. Her paintings depict the many ways society controls and scrutinises women and the ways that women resist this through an evolving culture. She sees her art as part of that evolution, which has resulted in more than 30 national and international exhibitions in London, Luxembourg, Paris, Hong Kong, Canberra, Yangon and Mandalay.

ARTWORK

beyond societal and cultural norms

Chuu’s artworks tackle social and gender injustice. She conveys shape-shifting female portraits with distinct, bold brush strokes on multiple seamless materials. These different works tell their own stories: traditional fabrics represent cultural repression; intercontinental collage backgrounds highlight an international approach to women beyond the narrow frame of national culture; masqueraded women symbolise those who are trapped within traditional expectations; and prominent women figures are spotlighted as the essential formal elements in her artwork.

About Me

Born and raised in Myanmar, my artwork explores, celebrates and subverts historical and contemporary Myanmar culture. My work is more than documentation and has been a means to question and overturn assumptions about the role of women within ‘traditional’ societies ———

Myanmar and International

Each year, Chuu’s work develops and evolves into more seasoned and cultivated works. As an artist, there is nothing more pleasing for her than to find growth and improvement in her projects. As she has grown, experienced and matured, so has her art.

Source of Hope

Chuu Wai is a Mandalay artist who has been active since 2008. Working on paintings which reflect her interest in the female identity. The artist, who is an engineer as well as a painter, has created a series of works with many layers which conceal and reveal. Her paintings are created against an awareness of the many ways society controls and scrutinizes women more than men, the ways that women resist, and the way that culture is evolving.

Welcome to Chuu Wai – Myanmar Art. Years of experience eventually led to the inception of a unique artistic voice and a playful and evocative exploration of planet Earth’s color palette, I strive to inspire humankind through inventive and experimental work.

coup in the cup

In Myanmar culture, people make sound to chase away bad spirits from their home. This time, they created this uproar to be loud to be heard everywhere in Myanmar, their common home. This art is created with the recorded sounds of the city and pictures of the improvised metallic drums – cups, pans and boxes – which hundreds of individuals have used during these times and sent to the artist.
