  12. RITES AND RITUALS – THE ART OF AUNG KYAW HTET(4 October, 2007) From AUNG KYAW HTET - Myanmar Inspirations “………………………………………………………………………………. Red and maroon are the traditional colors of monks’ robes in Myanmar - hues that he often uses to reinforce the symbolic significance of the works. This is because, despite the originality of the plastic organization of his art, which form part of the personality and history of the Buddhist culture, their effect is universally easily accessible and their meaning  readily understood………………………………………………………………........................ Aung Kyaw Htet’s more recent scholarship has focused on the robes of the monks.  In  ancient Indian Buddhist  fables, when autumn leaves were shed from trees - their colors changing from yellow and orange to brown - he season symbolized the ending of physical existence . Thus yellow symbolized the color of renunciation and as such remains symbolic to the Sangha or monkhood, with the elder senior monks most often draped in darker maroon or ochre robes and the younger monks donned in brighter hues. A monk’s robe consists of three garments as is depicted in the painting  Two Novices In Red 2006: an inner waistcoat, an upper robe and an outer robe that is a  two by three meter length of cotton fabric stitched in a patchwork  of a hundred pieces resembling the layout  of a rice field. The monks’ robes - the history of which dates back to the lifetime of Buddha Gautama himself has nourished Aung Kyaw Htet’s creativity. The subject has inspired him to create a new body of work that has been reinforced through the narrative function of the intense use of color that despite its originality of composition remains an integral part of his culture. The symbolic narrative that he has created through the ethereal pictorial of paintings such as in Draping The Robes 2007 as well as in Monk In Yellow Robes, 2006  though it has become part of a poetic repertoire which is in keeping with a world past and present, it is in no way a flight from reality. Instead its unique translucent qualities it  represents his very independence from a conformist genre of art for in this visual poetry is the manifestation of an ancient custom tinged with the mystic and divine experience - calm and assured of itself.” http://www.thavibu.com/articles/ATC37.htm Shwezigon Pagoda Shwezigon is simple, massive and imposing. It was built by Anawrahta King, founder of the first Myanmar Empire, and fined by King Kyansittha in 1084. The Shwezigon was held in special reverence by successive kings and became the prototypefor later Myanmar pagodas. There are three pagoda terraces. Around the terraces mothers are many scenes from the previous lives of Lord Buddha. At another corner of the platform, there are spiritual figures, collected and ordered to be kept in a shed eternally by King Anawrahta. http://www.myanmarpolestar.com/en/travel_bagan.htm http://flickr.com/photos/82822788@N00/327141708/ Shwezigon Pagoda http://www.myanmarpolestar.com/en/travel_bagan.htm
