Jean-Claude Desplanques, 1936

Ancien élève à l’école des Beaux Arts, Jean-Claude Desplanques se consacre à la peinture depuis 1960. Né en Normandie en 1936, il se passionne pour le dessin dès l’âge de huit ans. Ses créatures mythiques, ses personnages mystérieux et sublimes, nous emmènent vers son univers pictural riche et fantastique, parfois théâtral, où la beauté règne.

Aung Kyaw Htet, 1965 | Figurative painter

Aung Kyaw Htet paints the faces of monks and nuns in great detail to show their humanity. This is in contradiction to most Burmese artists who usually omit facial details to focus on monks as symbols of religion rather than as human individuals.
Aung Kyaw Htet was born in Myaungmya and studied at the State School of Fine Arts in Rangoon.
He is a devout Buddhist and grew up in a small village, two factors which have a strong influence on his art.
His paintings of religious life in Burma show monks and nuns in a realistic manner, though non-essential objects are omitted from the paintings in order to draw attention to the individuals.
