SWEET DYSTOPIA

.

“ Every life has right to initially create their own idealistic world ” same as the artist Subannakrit Krikum who has the significant and talented ability to convey his thoughts about the social emerging situation through his contemporary art. His identity is combining Thai traditional art with contemporary art. The latest series of paintings are exhibited in the solo exhibition named “ Sweet Dystopia (โลกที่สาม) ” which means the parallel world that artist has been created for reflecting people realities and situations that occurred recently. In the artist’s idealistic world, it is represented happiness, goodness, beautifulness, truth, and lying by the image of gods who live happily in this world. Nevertheless, if you can see some hidden meanings from symbolics in each piece, you will realize many truths and conundrums of the criticism about the power of hierarchy. These could be called “ Thai paintings which inscribe how reality in the chaotic perspective ”

The artist created small-scale paintings to reflect these deep notions by using colours from industrial with powder colours made from natural minerals. He made colours on his own from his knowledge which is from the ancient painter principles. It has been used for mural painting in the past until now. The small-size paintings are the artist’s intention. He would like the audience to consider every piece in detail and take time to appreciate the beautifulness, gimmicks then criticize it through related feelings and experiences by themselves.
