Min Wae Aung is often referred to as Burma’s greatest living Contemporary artist, gaining worldwide acclaim for his large-scale oil conceptual figurative paintings including "Code 66 - Towards Monastery" (2012) which is tour-de force, by Min Wae Aung (Burma/Myanmar, b. 1960). The artist is known for his unique painting style, use of space and composition in works that feature single or repeated figures, typically monks, which the artist paints as if they are walking away through the ethereal realm they inhabit, quietly inviting the viewer to follow them. Min Wae Aung paints in a very Contemporary, urban manner, influenced by Western urban artists like Shephard Fairey (Obey), in the use of black outlines, graphic patterns, decorative backgrounds and flat, bright saturated colors, a style that belies his experience as a commercial graphic artist and his seminal time spent with street artists and in the U.S. art-scene in 1993. "Code 66 - Towards Monastery" is a major work by the artists, measuring 59.85 x 51.18 inches (152 x 130 cm) and is in excellent condition.
