Asian artist: Arnon Sungvondee

Born in 1975 in the Thai capital, Bangkok, Arnon Sungvondee is part of this brave new generation of Thai artists exploring the possibilities of a lesser known media: etching. He just graduated with a Master of Fine Art form the famous Silapakorn University in Bangkok.

Following the steps of Vira Jothaprasert, an emblematic figure of Thai modern art who dedicated his art to prints, etchings and monotypes, Arnon explores in his latest series the lives and hopes of disadvantaged people, struggling to survive in today’s society.

“Having been confronted in my personal life with the difficulties encountered by handicapped people, I chose to further study and represent their hopes as a way of showing in a broader sense the daily struggles of suffering persons. Legs are the real actors of my prints, personifying the elusive quest for happiness in a society that does not care anymore to help the less fortunate”, explains Arnon.

Fang Zhaoling has many of these stories to tell. Widowed at an early age, Fang raised eight children and ran the family business amidst the civil turmoil of the 1950s. She turned to art for comfort from these challenges, and after years of prestigious training became an internationally respected painter.

Both politically charged and highly personal, Fang’s paintings reveal the energy and drive of an extraordinary woman.

Spirit of Art by Asian artist Pratuang Emjaroen, The Queen’s Gallery Bangkok, 7 October 2005 – 24 January 2006


For Thai artist Pratuang Emjaroen, it is apparent that discovering the beauty of rice grains, lotus leaf and rays of lights on the horizon is what made the artist. Over 40 years, Pratuang has chosen his own path and found inspiration and artistic creativity from the beauty of nature.

70 years of rugged life as an artist, Pratuang persevered through hardship and has finally established himself firmly in the art circle. Pratuang’s stamina, commitment and creativity are evident in his historic series of work; namely, Universe , Dew Drops on Lotus Leaf, Magic of the River, Grain Rainbow, Lotus-Essence of Consciousness. They are the beauty he has imprinted onto the mother earth.

To honor the Asian artist’s accomplishment as well as to celebrate his 70th birthday anniversary, the Queen’s Gallery in cooperation with the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Ministry of Culture is organizing a retrospective art exhibition entitled “Spirit of Art”. The exhibition compiles Pratuang’s works since 1963-2005 to reflect and record each step of his creative path.

The works on display are:
- Oil paintings: eye-opening works that shed lights on fields and display natural phenomenon on rivers, winds and the gentleness of rice fields
- Drawing: Accurate and yet gentle drawings with nature as a theme
- Poems: Weaving songs of journeys and the beauty of life

The exhibition also features the artist’s latest paintings created in the last two years (2004-2005).

After Tomorrow, A Solo Exhibition by Asian artist Vincent J.F. Huang

After Tomorrow, A Solo Exhibition by Asian artist Vincent J.F. Huang, the Duolun MoMA, Sep. 28 to Oct. 6 2005


As cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait become more and more frequent, Vincent J.F. Huang has been awarded studio space at the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art for its Autumn 2005 Residency Program, in which he has been participating since September. Vincent is the first Asian artist from Taiwan to participate in a residency program at the Duolun MoMA, the first and for now the only professional museum of contemporary art in China supported by the government. From Sep. 28 to Oct. 6, Vincent will present the latest works accomplished during his residency at the Duolun MoMA. This is furthermore the first time for a Taiwanese artist to hold a solo exhibition in a government-funded museum of contemporary art in mainland China.

Thirty-four-year-old Taiwanese artist Vincent J.F. Huang currently works as a Senior Art Lecturer in the Department of Visual Communication in Kaohsiung ShuTe University in Taiwan after having obtained his MA in Art & Design from Scotland, U.K. He is also the curator for the Art Space of Life Science Library of Academia SINICA, Taipei.

Responding to the all-encompassing civilization achieved by science and technology currently sweeping the globe, “After Tomorrow”, an art exhibition in three parts, will explore some profound and thought-provoking issues, such as the conflicts brought about by scientific and technological developments and their impacts on humanity.

The exhibition will use the Chinese balefire, an ancient communication system using smoke to signal enemy attack, to symbolize the constant harassment of war that has plagued human society across the ages, and will metaphorize the changeable international situation into the pathological changes of the human body’s organs. Furthermore, via interactive works composed of large sums of IT parts to symbolize the means of communication in our high-tech and science-based civilization, the exhibition will unfold an unpredictable future caused by scientific and technological developments.


1. Balefire Project (Documentation)

This documentary video will give a complete picture of the Balefire Project that took place in Kaohsiung (Gaoxiong), Taiwan two years ago and was named the most powerful and controversial performance piece during the last decade in South Taiwan.


2. Global Integration “Installationฃ”

The artist will paint national flags and other relevant images representing different countries on models of the human body’s organs. The pathological change of the human body’s organs is a metaphor for the changeable and complicated international situation, while the operation of the human body is compared to the conflicts between races and economies.


3. Nice to Meet You (Installation)

Large sums of abandoned IT parts will be used to compose a Magic Bean-like IT monster with many long, narrow strips and branches. This interactive installation will greet visitors by shaking hands with them while secretly trying to attack the visitors with its underlying branches and strips. It will be the sort of unknown and unpredictable creature produced by the rapid developments of science and technology that bites back at our human society. In view of the global trend of worshipping high technology, the artist wants to discuss relevant issues, such as human beings’ proud and persistent exploration of science and technology, the illusions of the resulting civilization, and the worries of the biting-back phenomenon. We can’t help asking ourselves: where will the worship of high technology lead us? To a Utopia-like new world or to a future doomsday?

Asian artist: Anon Phongphap

Anon Phongphap is a young and promising Thai artist that just graduated from the renowned Silapakorn University with a master of fine arts.

Unlike most emerging Thai artists that favor paintings on canvas, Anon devotes his time to the arts of prints, etchings and monotypes. His deliberate choice for these difficult techniques contrasts with his favorite subjects and matters: dreams and teddy bears!

An atypical character, Anon finds inspiration while lying in bed in the morning and creates a world where his childhood’s favorite stuffed bear floats in a dreamy world of hope and concerns.

Anon Phongphap displays a very mature technique for his young age and many experts see in him the creativity, talents and skills of a future great artist.

His paintings are inspired by the natural elegance and uniqueness of the lotus flower. Yuttakorn has always felt very strongly about lights and shadows, enjoying the intensity and magical qualities that can be achieved with variations of whites, blacks and grays.
