Thee Oo is a freelance copywriter, illustrator and graphic designer who is currently studying for a diploma in Fine Arts at Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore. Because of her interest in movies and music, her works often have a folksy and vintage style. Women, flora and fauna have been her highest inspirations. Her artworks celebrate mankind, the errors we make, the marks we leave, the sins we commit, the arts we create, the beliefs we fight for and the love we dream of. She likes to find aesthetic values in the ordinary, the flawed and the truthful. She always includes stories behind her works - hidden meanings which are sometimes personal and sometimes historical. She would like to portray myths or historical events and put her own magic into them. Thee Oo believes that in that way, she pays respect as a human to everything and everyone in those events, and she pays respect to herself as an artist.
“Thee Oo created a series of posters in February 2021 to encourage people to join the protests. She made these available online free for download so that anyone and everyone could print them and bring them to the protests. The main themes of the posters are instructive – speak up for your beliefs and your rights, bang pots at 8 pm every night to show your resistance to the coup and solidarity with your neighbours, share on social media relevant information and news about the progress of the revolution, and remember your community is your strength.”
