Shwedagon, Yangon, Myanmar, 1986
The “Road to Mandalay” series reveals the Fee Ming forte—the zooming approach, the infinite minutiae of detail, the magnificent colours and the genuine emotion. For some viewers, the present destinies of Myanmar and the life of withdrawal of the monks impart sadness or melancholy to the rich flames of the artist’s palette. Others may see in the monks clad in their robes of fire a reminder of the supremacy of the religious over the secular. Those politically oriented may even remember the same monks in Vietnam…But mostly, Fee Ming’s Burmese series illustrates the continuing spirituality and the hope of the people of Myanmar. They are a pictorial celebration of a kind of beauty that needs no further comment
