Project Titled : White, Grey, Gold and White,
Grey, Silver
Concept
My expression of Thai contemporary painting is presented in the
issues of religious belief, experience and many events in nowadays.
As this pattern of art creation, grey is compared t be moderate
practice, balance which mixed with various colours ; grey - brown,
grey - green, grey - blue, grey - red, but not for white and
black. Especially, white means to pureness, brilliancy, knowledge,
distinctness, moreover, gold and silver mean to belief and profound
fait.
I prefer to use white, grey, gold referring
to several meanings such as truthfulness and symbo in the characteristic
of applied Thai traditional painting the narration and the present
record of events.
