A hundred art pieces by four celebrated Thai artists are displayed during the “ATTA” exhibition at the RCB Galleria of River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, until March 31.

This is the first joint exhibition by Prateep Kochabua, Sakwut Wisetmanee, Suradech Kaewthamai and Anupong Chantorn, each of whom has selected masterpiec­es from their own archive and also created new works exclusivel­y for this large-scale installati­on.

Hailed as the country’s top surrealist artist, Prateep’s paintings depict subtle meaning hidden on the vast canvas. It’s like a personal space to express his emotion and thoughts.

A successful portrait artist and highly respected sculptor who rarely exhibits his original works anywhere, Sakwut earlier brought back his unfinished work and continued to complete it before putting it on show alongside his collectibl­e paintings and latest sculptural works.

Reputed for his prominent use of oil, acrylic and pastel on assorted materials to create beautiful portraits in art nouveau style, Suradech recalls his childhood memory at his Tha Chin riverside home in his paintings which can be regarded as autobiogra­phical art.

Young yet talented Anupong, who reflects harsh truths about society using his trademark satirical style, presents his new works as well as collectibl­e pieces which are thought provoking and inspiring.

The exhibition opens daily from 10am8pm. There is no admission fee.
