Thavibu Gallery<\/strong> is pleased to present the art exhibition Disparity<\/em> <\/strong>\u2014 showcasing recent paintings by Jirapat Tatsanasomboon.<\/p>\n

In a new series of work, Jirapat Tatsanasomboon comes back with a new Ramakien <\/em>Pop series. This time, he delves deep into the contrastive characters of two well-known figures in the Thai appropriation and expansion of the Indian epic Ramayana<\/em>. Pitting Nonthok<\/em> against Hanuman<\/em>\u2014the former permanently awkward and the latter endlessly suave\u2014Jirapat is, once again, referencing the current Thai political affairs. While one side\u2014with his unquestionable allegiance to Rama and the favourable turn of the tide\u2014always come across impressively, the other ends up a perpetual wrongdoer. The artist\u2019s choice to attend to these two well-known Ramakien <\/em>figures as stock rather than round characters, in this series, points to the superficiality and unsustainability of the current political situation.<\/p>\n

Jirapat Tatsanasomboon,<\/strong> 44, is the only Thai artist included in the recent book by the international publisher Thames & Hudson \u2013 100 Painters of Tomorrow<\/em>.\u00a0 Thus, he has been vetted by international curators and museum directors as one of the most promising artists of his generation.<\/p>\n

Jirapat holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Silapakorn University.\u00a0 Apart from Thai exhibitions he has also been widely exhibited – in Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, the USA, India, Argentina, Monaco and China (Olympics, 2008).\u00a0 His paintings were displayed at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore in 2012 in the exhibition Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal. <\/em>His works regularly sell at international auctions.<\/p>\n
