100 Tonson Gallery proudly presents the exhibition “Liberation” by Utai Nopsiri who returns to town with his latest works after having received huge success from the first solo show “Only Appearance” in 2007.
Utai Nopsiri has been creating sculptures for over 10 years and was the recipient of several awards. Introduced to 100 Tonson Gallery by Chatchai Puipia in 2006, we are very proud to have discovered and introduced to public, such strength of vision borne from Nopsiri’s conviction, dedication and energy. After his first sold out show, Nopsiri has created the second series of abstract teak wood sculptures under the title “Liberation”. Nopsiri's strength has propelled him into the international spotlight of contemporary recognition.
In this exhibition “Liberation”, Utai Nopsiri continues his conceptual framework and artistic working process. Instead of using technology or any electricity-related tools, the artist created each sculptural element by hand and his craftsmanship. Viewers can appreciate every detail, having been done in precision and focus.
