Art out of this world
Italian artist Keziat takes viewers on a journey of the imagination with “Hybrids — The Invisible Ink”, running at Chulalongkorn University Museum, Phaya Thai Road, until Oct 21.
Presented by the Embassy of Italy as part of the “Italian Festival in Thailand 2016”, the exhibition features drawings on paper and canvas that portray lunar, fantastic, mysterious worlds.
The artist uses women as protagonists in search of authenticity, evoking images and stolen childhood characters — a cathartic way to make legible the internal disorder that afflicts those who become slaves to social and technological structures.
“Hybrids” is her second international exhibition, and opened at the Mat Museum of San Severo in Foggia in southern Italy last February. It moved to showcase at the Dante Alighieri Society in Miami, and then back to Italy, at the Museum Tuscolano Scuderie Aldobrandini in Rome.
Keziat is a female artist of interdisciplinary skills. She has drawn cartoons and illustrations, created video animation, and produced performances of music, dance, theatre and the visual arts.
The CU museum is l ocated between the Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, and is open from 9am-4.30pm on weekdays.
