Being raised and growing up in the Northeastern region of Thailand, Nilraya experienced the beauty of the festivity and the bond it creates. She also travels to different parts of the country to observe divergent celebrations in accordance with the local people’s tradition and culture. These traditions and rituals are part of our heritage and they will be passed on to the next generations.

Nilraya depicts a snapshot of these convivial moments using the unconventional medium of embroidery instead of painting or photography. With her talents in needle work, Nilraya uses various sizes of thread with a vibrant colour palette to record what she sees onto a piece of fabric. Symbolically the threads also represent her connection and bond with the place and the joy she experienced through these festivities.

Rattana Salee’s metal sculptures of architectural structures reflect the private and communal complexities of urban living. Evidence of supposed progress, the Thai capital has become one vast construction site. The builder’s raucous rattle of drill and hammer shakes almost every street in the city, while inhabitants seek mental and spiritual solace in the claustrophobic rectangular stacks they call home. Within such domestic confines, occupants establish individual expressions as refuge, yet the world beyond continues to infiltrate. Attempting a personal connection with the geographic, social, and psychological framework of the cityscape, Rattana’s sculpted frames evoke the decaying towers that still pierce the capital’s skyline, residues of economic fallout from the 1997 financial crisis. The devotion to the medium of sculpture, constant engaging in a dialogue with a vast city space and a focus to the socio-political commentary of a particular cultural surroundings render Rattana Salee’s work to be a paradigmatic representation of an urban art oriented practice.

Wattanapon pays homage to the symbiosis of all living existence. The equilibrium of nature allows humans, animals, and plants to co-exist and be able to sustain their own livelihood. However, the balance is off when humankind takes advantage of nature without much consideration for the consequences.

“Shape of Relationship,” a new series of artwork by Sita Inyai explores the natural law of balance.  The relationships between human to human, human to surroundings or animals to nature are all based on the principle of equilibrium.  Some relationships are congenial while some differ strikingly.  The exhibition offers a metaphoric picture of the omnipresent rule of balance in both explicit and ambiguous visual interpretation.

“Shape of Relationship” consists of 13 artworks in two and three dimensions.  Inyai creates her body of work through the process of drawing, crocheting, knitting, tying, binding, and weaving metal and silk yarns.  Her application of mixed materials makes reference to the physical structure of the human body.
