The world in my paintings is colourful. I do not hesitate to use raw colour directly from colour tubes. It became more clear during the residency* in Thanyaburi, Thailand. As a result, the colours of my paintings are strong and solid as if they seem to hurt eyes.
There is a figure in the colourful world of my painting. The figure lies in a deep silence as if they are captured by something or frozen in a moment. They are expressionless and anonymous. They are ordinary people who can be found around us such as a waitress in a café, tourists, a couple to shop, a girl in subway, a garden keeper, sellers in a tropical juice shop, and so on. They are countless. Monotony of these paused figures contrasts with the strong, bold, vivid colours. I intentionally exaggerate these contrasts.
The ultimate reason of my attention to people in a society is to express my empathy for plight of human kind. They are common people who are powerless and never truly free, living their lives patiently and stoically as a mere speck at an infinitesimal point in time within the landscape of the long course of history. My work starts from my awareness which history consists of these people’s monotonous or sometimes meaningless lives.
*2months (Feburary-March of 2017) of artist residency at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, Thailand
