5 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this August
‘Un Monde Meilleur: a Better World’ by Hom Nguyen
A Paris-born, Vietnamese descendant, Hom Nguyen is an artist that explores the complicated issues of the Vietnamese people who were affected by the war through his sombre portraits. In search for the other half of his lost identity, Hom created a collection of paintings that pinpoint the issues that war refugees are forced to face, as well as the way humans eventually define themselves amid the changing environments.
‘Un Monde Meilleur: a Better World’ is on show until August 27, 2022 on the 2nd floor of Art Centre Building, SAC Gallery.
‘Unnecessary Drama’ by Arm Wantaya
Through the humorous perspectives of Arm Wantaya, we are presented with all kinds of social interactions, from mundane matters to political issues. Wantaya’s paintings stand between the blurred lines of figuration and abstraction, often excluding facial expressions since they only add unnecessary drama to the big picture. Curated by Louis Supple, the artworks have been produced and collected over a two-year period.
‘Unnecessary Drama’ is on show until August 31, 2022 at RCB Photographers’ Gallery 2 on the 2nd floor.
