Chayanin Kwangkaew: Ordinary Soul
Chayanin Kwangkaew regards the word melange as an apt descriptor of this era of existence. Defined as 鈥渁 mixture of often incongruous elements鈥�, a melange can be a visual representation of a plural and diverse world.
This idea is depicted in Kwangkaew鈥檚 paintings of bright splashes of color and collections of seemingly unrelated objects. Some are natural, others fabricated; there are fragments of a traditional still life, and shards of futuristic shapes. Photorealistic details are layered over graphic patterns. The images are painted like cutouts collaged together, culled from a multitude of sources.
The artist pursues this idea of opposites and multiplicity, melding together the abstracted and the figurative, dynamic shapes and movement amidst still life, calm and chaos, and even medium, using both oil paint and acrylic鈥攐il and water. He balances empty space and detail equally on the picture plane.
