Symbols of Buddha‘s faith by Anan Ratchawang-in



An art exhibition by Anan Ratchawangin
October 14 – November 14, 2010, @ Galerie N on Witthayu Rd.

“Symbols of Buddha ‘s faith” is the latest solo exhibition by Arnan Ratchawang-Inn. After a four-year hiatus, he is excited about displaying his new works. The artist has created a form of Traditional Thai contemporary art which symbolically portrays faith, peace, purity and light based on Buddhism.

Arnan was raised in a rural atmosphere closely linked to local art and culture, customs and the Buddhist way of life. He absorbed all the power of artistic beauty, culture, tradition and faith. These strong influences motivated him to learn more and conduct extensive research into Thai art which led to the development of his highly unique work.

The artist received 1st Prize, Gold Medal in the Semi Tradition Art Section, at the 23rd Bua Luang Art Exhibition and participated in the Thai Contemporary Art Exhibition in 2009 at Moulin des Acacias, France.

Stories Out of Burma



Art Exhibition: Stories Out of Burma
Artist: Htein Lin (London) and Chaw Ei Thein (New York), Burmese
Curator: Shireen Naziree
Dates: 13 November – 4 December, 2010
Venue: Thavibu Gallery
Open: Monday – Saturday: 11:00 – 19:00

Both Chaw Ei Thein and Htein Lin are recognised as Burma’s most profiled international artists. Chaw Ei Thein resides and has her artistic practice in New York and Htein Lin works and lives in London. STORIES OUT OF BURMA are their individual artistic dialogues that relates to their lives as artists in the Diaspora. Despite distances and time, Htein Lin and Chaw Ei Thein share a common ground both personally as artists and friends that relate prolifically to their shared personal histories in Burma.

In STORIES OUT OF BURMA, Chaw Ei Thein relates her personal physical and emotional struggles as a Burmese woman and as an artist living in New York. But her most poignant expressions relate to her comparative studies between her homeland and New York. Her series of paintings relate to her transient status and her ongoing efforts to bring her artistic voice to the forefront. In her accompanying video work, Chaw lends an eloquent uncertainty to the possibilities and politics of images and their circulation through space and time as she acknowledges the conflicts between her two worlds.














Htein Lin’s series of paintings for STORIES OUT OF BURMA offer intimate views of issues that are vital to his personal world as threads of Burma continue to remain an integral part of his world. Despite having digested a very cosmopolitan outlook and developed a broad image both as a painter and as a conceptual artist, Buddhism remains a key patent both to his personal self and his art. The realization of this is defined both in his paintings and in his performance piece specifically choreographed and produced for STORIES OUT OF BURMA whereby he aims to involve the viewer an opportunity to share his Burmese heritage.

“What lies within us” by Haritorn Akarapat


“What lies within us”

A solo exhibition of
Haritorn Akarapat

29 Sept - 10 Nov 2010

Opening reception 29 Sept 2010 6pm onwards

Exotissimo in partnership with the Toot Yung Gallery are pleased to present What lies within us, a solo exhibition by the renowned Thai artist Haritorn Akarapat. With this new exhibition, Haritorn Akarapat proposes again a surprising “come back” to the Bangkok art scene; returning with a new strength, a new medium: Painting!

Haritorn Akarapat is an established sculptor in Thailand. His work is easily recognizable as he developed a strong identity during his over 20 years career, exploring new ways to approach the bronze and patina techniques. This sudden change of medium has been in the artist’s mind for several years. He was just waiting for it to be ripe as he says with a wide smile.
Akarapat’s long and challenging career is marked by intense periods of activity, usually culminating in a heroic masterpiece or group of master works, followed by startling renewal and rethinking of his subject.












This exhibition proposes to make a parallele between his previous sculpture works and his new paintings. It is a transit showcase of his work in progress. “What lies within us” is an occasion to see how the artist nourishes himself from his previous works to finally come to explore an unknown matter.
His paintings are a passionate explosion. Full of humour, freedom and odd colours...they are refreshing and ironic.The artist focuses on the power and simplicity of subject and the vibrancy of the colors . It is a subtil mirror like response to his latest solo show at Tang Contemporary Art Lapse of Memory. Again exploring the resonances between the pieces of a very numerous serie. As to grab the diversity of life and beings, Akarapat accumulates these distorted faces, skulls and animals with a furious appetite. They are painted intuitively, with quick and spontaneous flashes of bright, transparent colour. He treats the paintings as virtual figurations of theological speculation and vehicles for spiritual meditation. The figurative elements act as a mirror for the observer, the non-figurative elements invite contemplation.

References to buddhist theories, which in the earlier works had been more ambiguous, are more directly emphasised. These works have allowed Akarapat to revisit and excavate the past, pushing his own painterly vocabulary to create works that are fresh and liberated.

Journey. . . an exhibition of contemporary sculpture by Tanadol Derujijaroen


Gossip Gallery @Silom Galleria hosts . . .
‘Journey’ . . . an exhibition of contemporary sculpture
by Tanadol Derujijaroen

Opening reception on Thursday 23 September 2010
Time: 6:00 P.M
Location: Gossip Gallery, Bangkok

Gossip Gallery @Silom Galleria, one of the leading contemporary art galleries on Silom Road, is pleased to host Tanadol Derujijaroen’s contemporary collection of sculptures entitled ‘Journey’. This exhibition, which is the artist’s first solo show, will officially debut on Thursday, September 23, 2010, and will be available for public viewing through October 30, 2010.

Like all of us, Tanadol’s personal life is a collection of countless of experiences. Some he recalls fondly; others he wishes had never occurred. Nevertheless he remembers them all, and uses these memories with his considerable talent to create sculptures that represent his emotions and dreams. ‘As a child from a broken home, I’ve always dreamed of a perfect family. To realize this fantasy, I have created a group of sculptures, titled the “Family Series, which depict that part of my childhood that was wanting and incomplete. Created in bronze, these works depict the ideal family which I’ve been longing for.’

‘My other works being shown in this exhibition also dwell on personal memories and, in fact, serve as my personal diary, where I have mentally recorded my thoughts and experiences throughout my life. Each piece sums up my feelings toward a particular incident and conveys a story. Some figurines may look happy, but they conceal an emotional scar. Like “a picture (that) is worth a thousand words”, a sculpture can also speak. Despite the fact that these works speak about my personal life and dreams, I believe that these themes are concepts that everyone can relate to,’ Tanadol Derujijaroen concludes.

Khun Siripa Chotchung, the managing director of Gossip Gallery, said that ‘I am very excited that Gossip has been chosen to host Tanadol’s first solo showing. This exhibition not only speaks of the dreams and desires of one man, it illustrates a life long journey of a man that is worth documenting. I would like to thank Tanadol for allowing us a glimpse into his personal diary. I would also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to take a journey with me and, in the process, come to understand Tanadol’s hopes and dreams through these amazing sculptures.’

‘Journey’ will be officially opened for public viewing on Thursday, September 23, 2010. This superb exhibition of sculptures by Tanadol Derujijaroen will be introduced by Dr.Kongkiat Opaswongkarn, the Chief Executive Officer of the Asia Plus Securities Public Company Limited (ASP) at 6:30 p.m. at the Gossip Gallery @Silom Galleria (BTS: Surasak Station). Tanadol’s fellow artists, interested private collectors, and members of the general public are invited to join in the celebration of the life and spirit of this incredible sculptor.

All 37 ‘Journey’ sculptures that are created from bronze, fiber glass and sandstone are available for purchase.

For more information on this unique collection, please contact Khun Siripa Chotchung at (02) 237-5568 and (089) 450-4549 or Khun Chonticha Choochart at (081) 440-3896 or visit the Gallery’s website: www.gossipgallerybkk72.com.
