Aye Ko (artist)
.....................
Aye Ko is internationally
renowned artists whose multimedia practices include
performance. In capitalising on the frustration of his
social environment, he often uses graphic and
cosmetic representations to illustrate his statements.
As a self-taught artist, Aye Ko made his international
debut in performance in 1999 at the Asiatopia II
performance art festival in Bangkok. With subsequent
performances in Hong Kong, Macau, Cambodia, Germany,
Indonesia, Japan, and New York,
Aye Ko often used elements such as fire and water
to support his ritualised movements. Prominent in
Aye Ko’s performance works is the use of the written
word, which can at once be quietly revealing and
secretive, a source of bonding as well as of separation
that often portrays people under impossible conditions.
It is also a dramatic testament to the power of words
and the way words are linked to the direct and
indirect experiences that constitute the apprehension
of his world.
Working with multiple artistic disciplines, Aye Ko
produces results that are striking at many levels. What
is often remarkable is his association with nature.
While nature is often reduced to an abstract form,
he incorporates sources from philosophy and his own
personal history in his work, sources that he explores
simultaneously. For Aye Ko, the challenge remains a
constant discovery of trying to weave concepts of the
individual, the spiritual and nature together into a
seamless continuum of reconciliation amidst the
uncertainty
and harshness of his social environment.
