BIOGRAFI

Htein Lin is a Burmese artist (painting, installation, performance) and has also been a comedian and actor. He spent almost seven years in jail (1998-2004) for political reasons where he developed his artistic practice, using items available to him like bowls and cigarette lighters in the absence of brushes to make paintings and monoprints on the cotton prison uniform.

In recent years he has expanded his practice to include three dimensional work and video. Meditating for several hours daily, a major inspiration for his work is Buddhism whose themes, stories and philosophy he incorporates in his art. He moved back to Burma in July 2013, having lived in London from 2006-2013.

Htein Lin regularly participates in exhibitions and performance art festivals globally, as well as events and projects to promote freedom of speech, particularly in Burma. He is a founding member of the Burmese language arts website www.kaungkin.com to which he contributes literature and artistic criticism and in 2010 curated the first Burmese Arts Festival in London.
