Soe Yu Nwe
Soe Yu Nwe is an artist from Myanmar. After earning an MFA degree in Ceramics at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design in 2015, Soe participated in numerous residencies in the United States and across Asia. Her experience of living cross-culturally has inspired her to reflect upon her own identity through making, conceiving it as a fluid, fragile and fragmented entity. Through transfiguration of her emotional landscape by poetically depicting nature and body in parts, she ponders the complexities of individual identity in this rapidly changing globalised society. Soe’s work has been exhibited internationally, including the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art 2019 (Brisbane), 2018 Dhaka Art Summit (Bangladesh), The New Taipei City Yingge Ceramic Museum (Taiwan), Yavuz Gallery (Singapore), ZieherSmith, Chelsea, New York (USA) and the National Gallery of Indonesia (Jakarta). Recently, Soe has become an invited member of the International Academy of Ceramics as the first member from Myanmar. Her work has been acquired by the Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia. Soe was named in Forbes 30 Under 30: Art & Style 2019.
