Artist(s): Pakitsilp VARAMISSARA
Date: 9 Nov - 8 Dec 2013
Pakitsilp Varamissara was born in Lopburi in 1954. He trained in the discipline of traditional Thai painting at Silapakorn University in Bangkok, which has served as a foundation for the artistic challenges of his impressive body of work.
Solitary stroller, oscillating between tradition and modernity, the artistic approach of Pakitsilp Varamissara subtly borrows the heritage of the Lanna School bringing it to a timeless level. He freely infringes Thai traditional painting codes, bringing them smoothly to fresh, modern and unique compositions.
After his much celebrated retrospective in 2012 at the National Gallery, organized by the Toot Yung Gallery with the support of the French Embassy, Chiang Mai based painter, Pakitsilp Varamissara will invest the new Toot Yung Art Center’s residence to explore the techniques of oil painting for the first time.
