Shwe Thein an artist from Myanmar. Before the most recent coup, he had numerous exhibitions in Myanmar and internationally. Shwe Thein is from Rakhine state and is famous for his paintings of the sea and boats from his home state of Rakhine. Though the subjects are often sea and boat related, the art remains interesting and unique due to his brushstrokes and fascinating use of color. The style can be naturalistic but can also sometimes be quite abstract. This is a very large, statement piece work for a collector of the best of emerging art in Asia. This is another sail boat on water, with a darker and less colorful feel, but the use of the huge blue and orange brushstrokes make this a meeting of the classical and the contemporary. One of the artist's best works.
