Soe Soe

Soe Soe (b.1967, Laputta) from Myanmar, started painting professionally when he was 18. His unusual techniques reflect his pioneering spirit in pursuing innovation in each piece of art. Soe Soe Laputta captures the dappled flecks of sunlight that spread over the terraced rice fields of the Northern Shan State of Myanmar. The vibrant energy of the works combines with rich jewelled hues to attract the viewers’ attention, rejuvenating and delighting. The three-dimensional quality of his pieces captures the nature of these fields, such that one feels he is physically standing by the beautiful hills in Myanmar.

Soe Soe is known to captures the essence of his country with creative energy and detail, galvanising basic elements of colour and design, and transforming them into brilliant visual effects. As if peering through a car window during a monsoon-lashed afternoon, Soe Soe’s paintings are an acute observation of the subtleties of daily life in Yangon.

An active participant in local and international exhibitions in the solo and group categories, Soe Soe’s wonderful paintings are found in the private and public collections in Singapore, Hong Kong, New York and Washington D.C to Europe, just to name a few.
