ARTIST STATEMENT

In the series, “Fictitious Colour,” Phuangphi intends to draw a conflict in the spectator’s conscientious normalcy.  He puts together the traditional and the modern humanistic signs then largely shifts them from the realistic nature to a fictitious colour landscape.  The work demonstrates theatrical rendition of semiotic activity.

The exhibition presents a total of 8 paintings with a combination of work on paper and work on linen material.  Phuangphi overlaps techniques of hyper-realism using crayon drawing while contrasting it with the free flow and abstract quality of drifted paint.  He attempts to introduce new experience to the audience giving the effect of wavy perception between the known and the unknown.
