Sound of Silence

Date: 18 Nov - 12 Dec 2010

Sound of Silence is the 4th solo exhibition here in Bangkok, Thailand. In this exhibition, I am inspired by text of both languages, Thai and English; combine into the works which audience can experience on our daily lives, all kinds of mediums such as billboard, newspaper and TV. I am always interested in things around myself ranging from small details of experiences when I commute within day to day from big images to impact of sound and then question myself with different issues.

One of my inspirations that I’ve gotten from this is the monks chanting from my daily routine. Also, listening to monks chanting is one my favorite part of my activities. The chanting of the monks has been around for thousand of years but still fit perfectly into our society even in our very contemporary era. I was inspired by the Thai language and Bali Sanskrit’s sound that the Thai monks use for chanting. The Bali Sanskrit chanting is the heart and soul of Buddhism. Instead of painting a picture of the Lord Buddha in a various different poses, I decided to pick the most popular chants and stencil them onto the canvas. The process of making art becomes the meditation practice from ones work to others. They represent the claim peaceful and void during I am working.
