Event Description:
Award-winning silkscreen specialist, Pongsiri Kiddee, will feature his latest creation of 40 works of silkscreen on canvas and on paper at this exhibition. Pongsiri’s newest silkscreens are inspired by his appreciation of the
beautiful architecture of Sukhothai Heritage Temples, which are the product of
ingenuity by people from that period as well as the natural and gradual aging through time. In the artist’s opinion, they are more invaluable than materialism of the modern day.

Pongsiri uses uncountable tiny geometrical forms of squares, rectangles, and circles to compose with various colors to create a work of harmony and uniqueness. Each finished work is a result of 20 – 30 layers of these elements and colors meticulously and neatly applied on the medium of paper or canvas to create warm, cheerful and colorful images in his works.

     Thai identity in artistic work. on one side, can be characterized by forms, contents, or even texture and color. That is Thai identity in tangible and concrete nature. On the other side, we can perceive that Thai identity through emotional feelings, which the work has expressed toword us. The extent of feelings can vary in degrees. And there is no right or wrong because a work of art will relay message from both side as mentioned. They support each other and give rise to impression to the audience.
     All works by Wijit Apichatkriengkrai contribute varieties of forms, thoughts, and spirit of being Thai in art creation throughout the 20 years of my artistic career.
