MAN HEROES MYTHS & GODS

8 DECEMBER 2008 – 8 JANUARY 2009

This exhibition showcases Kamol Tamseewan and Jirapat Tatsanasomboom’s perspectives on Man, Heros, Myths, and Gods. 

Kamol possesses a unique ability to transform the human portrait into a powerful medium of profound expression. His meticulous approach involves handpicking villagers and thoughtfully crafting a series of questions. Immersed in the essence of his painstaking interviews, Kamol internalizes these narratives before infusing his canvas with an intrinsic fervency.

Jirapat emerges as a prominent rising star in the vibrant Asian art scene. His artistic focus revolves around the intricacies of urban Thai culture, entangled in the web of Western materialism. With a keen sense of wit and humor, Jirapat subtly injects a hint of cynicism into his works. Often taking a satirical stance, his art becomes a mirror reflecting the tensions inherent in the 'East meets West' genre. As an artist, Jirapat skillfully navigates the complexities of cultural intersections, offering viewers a thought-provoking journey through the intersections of tradition and modernity.
