Phantasia: When Thai literature meets Western art

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #VisitTheExhibition “Phantasia” by Kongpop Benjanirat

When it comes to ‘Thai Literature’, many people may think of images from textbooks that we have known since childhood. This art exhibition will take us back to the world of those literary works, but through a new perspective by an artist who is passionate about Thai literature and Western Figurative art, which beautifully connects the two worlds.

The artist has drawn the aesthetics and surreal imagination from Thai literature and reinterpreted them with a perspective that gives off the scent of ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The characters’ poses in the images convey great beauty and power, and the dreamy flow.

In this exhibition, we will see paintings that are new to what we are familiar with: Phra Aphai Mani, Chalawan, Phra Suthon, Manorah, Sangthong, Kaki, Mani Mekhala, Matana Phatha, Kaew Nam Ma, Wiwa Phra Samut, and Nang Phom Hom, which you know from literature, are placed in a new world that is as beautiful as a Western fairy tale, but still retains the charm of Thai literature.

This exhibition is like taking us on a journey through the imaginative world that we learned about as children. But it comes alive through a different perspective. With the imagination of the ideal world of Thai literature of the artist
