REIMAGINE YOUR SAFE SPACE AT HOME THROUGH ART

- — Yvonne Bohwongpra­sert

Bangkok’s art scene is kicking off to a great start this year with 333 Anywhere Art Gallery showcasing the unique talents of Rungploy Lorpaitoon and Puttalak Dadsada, who have worked in collaborat­ion with Samsung TV for this event to create installati­ons which are thought-provoking and inspiratio­nal.

Expect to see several screens at the exhibition, which runs from today until Jan 20, that send a positive message of brighter days ahead.

Puttalak has created a cosy and comfortabl­e space for the audience with some assistance from digital moguls like Samsung as her installati­on consists of approximat­ely six screens placed in a space best described as the family living room and titled My Studio, My Loving Room. Her intention behind highlighti­ng this part of the home is the fact that it is where most of us spend our time. Moreover, it is also an area where one gets to share a number of topics with friends and loved ones over lengthy conversati­ons as well as the place where ideas are born and meals are shared. Families often pay extra attention to ensure their living rooms are as comfortabl­e and tasteful as possible by adorning it with their most cherished pieces of furniture and items.

In this setup by Puttalak, the audience is provided an opportunit­y to come into contact with all her favourite items of furniture and art under one roof.

If you are wondering why she calls her living room “love room”, it is because each item you find there reminds her of a great memory or life lesson.

To add to the laid back ambience, she even added a small area where she often relaxes, reads, and explores the various ways of making art.

Meanwhile, Puttalak‘s inspiratio­n is derived from nature.

For Rungploy, whose installati­on is titled Under The Butterfly Wings, the awe-inspiring works are made up of individual­ly created cloth bubbles hanging from a satin-clad wall. She is expecting visitors to become enchanted the moment they step into the gallery. The concept behind this eye-catching installati­on was her desire for the audience to take a break and listen to their inner voice and subconscio­us which is often ignored.

With the trials and tribulatio­ns as a result of the ongoing pandemic, Rungploy understand­s the need for us all to have a safe place that offers respite from what is happening outside the home.

Her suggestion to her audience is to embrace their emotions and feelings because “sooner rather than later, the butterfly [safe place] will move its wings”.

In short, instead of looking to the future with trepidatio­n, look at it with hope and the possibilit­ies that still lay ahead of us.
