Nann Nann
Overview
Nann Nann was born in Yangon, Myanmar in 1974. She still lives and works in her hometown.
Daughter of two traditional artists and art teachers, she broke out of her parent’s conservative styles and went on to an innovative use of traditional components. She daringly creates abstract designs both in marble sculptures and large canvases in acrylic. She is one of the few female sculptors of Myanmar and certainly one of its strongest artists. She has extensively exhibited in Myanmar and abroad. Nann Nann holds a Diploma in Fine Art from the State School of Fine Art, Yangon, Myanmar and a Bachelor in Art, Sculpture from the University of Culture, Yangon, Myanmar.
