The solo exhibition is curated by Max Seidel and Serena Calamai, it consists of a selection of more than sixty works paintings and drawings by Sawangwongse Yawnghwe dedicated to the bitter and interminable conflict between tyranny and democracy that has affected Burma for over half a century. Rather than limiting himself to the simple account of the tragedies that characterize the country’s recent history, since his first works Sawang has represented the disasters of war through symbolic images, taking inspiration from Goya.
