“Trajectory of Traces” by Chatchai Pochanaporn This exhibition presents paintings that originate from an understanding of life and changes within oneself, through journeys that are not just physical movements, but encounters with uncertainty, new places, and inner silence, which gradually shape the artist’s identity over many years. The artist started by taking photos to record his impressions of various places. However, as time passed, he found that photographs could not fully convey the feelings and emotions that arose during those moments. Therefore, he turned to creating paintings that gave him a space to express himself more deeply. The artist conveys stories through white ink paintings on dark canvases, conveying impressions in the form of “landscapes of the mind” through a semi-abstract visual art language that combines delicate lines with free and emotional brushstrokes, as if they were traces of thoughts and emotions moving along the path of life. Each image is not only a representation of a place, but also a reflection of feelings, doubts, longing, and fragility that we all may have felt along the way of life. It questions what we keep inside and what we may forget while running after our goals. We will see the artist’s concept that does not focus on reaching the destination, but rather digs for value “along the way,” in imperfection, in change.

#InsomniaInExhibition "Life War" - Dust of life and the struggle amidst uncertainty by artist Kittisak Funsai "From earth to earth, from dust to dust, from ashes to ashes", this familiar saying is not only a religious teaching, but also a reminder of the deep relationship between life and nature. Every life, whether human, animal or plant, originates from the earth, grows, struggles and eventually returns to the earth again. This exhibition presents installation art using ceramics as the main material, which is fragile and easily broken, conveying the uncertainty of life. The shape of the artwork is inspired by the human body, animals and plants. Some pieces may seem so ambiguous that it is impossible to tell exactly what kind of living thing it is. It reflects the image of birth, growth, decay and waiting for a new birth. The colors of each artwork are created from the traditional clay burning process, which is definitely uncontrollable, like human emotions and feelings that are uncertain and change all the time. When everything is strung together, it becomes a work that is both fascinating and thought-provoking. How can we understand life if we have never questioned birth, struggle and decay? This question will take us to explore the human psyche amidst the battlefield of life, both the external war that appears in the form of conflicts between groups, people or nations, and the internal war that occurs in our own hearts. It is a battle between hope and despair, fear and desire. This exhibition opens up a space for us to question our own lives, to see the truth that no one can avoid uncertainty, and the struggle for survival is an instinct of every life. And amidst the war of life, sometimes we may feel defeated or exhausted to move forward. But in this path of uncertainty, there is always hope. 📍Location: Matdot Art Center (Bangkok) 🗓 Open until April 13, 2025 ⏰️ Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 💵 Free admission 🚘 Parking available #MatDotArtCenter #LifeWar #InsomniaScene #trip #ExhibitionReview #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

#InsomniaInExhibition Experience a journey across time, from Sanskrit manuscripts to woodcuts that record Asia's immortal epics, with the exhibition Engraved Epics: Early Bengal Prints of Ramayana and Mahabharata - Engraved Epics: Ramayana and Mahabharata on Early Bengal Prints, curated by Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya. This exhibition explores the historical and artistic significance of early printed works from Bengal that tell the stories of the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Originally published in Sanskrit manuscripts, these stories later reached a wider audience through printed books and graphic arts, which influenced the arts and cultures in India and Southeast Asia, including Thailand. In the past, the Ramayana and Mahabharata were recorded in Sanskrit manuscripts and conveyed through storytelling or cultural performances. But the woodblock printing technique in early 19th century Bengal brought these epics to life in a tangible form. This exhibition presents exquisitely crafted prints, influenced by European and Indian art, that reflect the profound philosophies of Hinduism, including dharma, karma and sacrifice, reflecting timeless values. In addition to the prints on display, the exhibition also features original books that retain the woodblock printing technique, as well as new prints from Kolkata made especially for this exhibition for sale. 🗓 Now on display - February 23, 2025 📍 Venue: Matdot Art Center (Bangkok) 💵 Free admission ⏰️ Open daily from 10.00 - 18.00 hrs. 🚘 Private parking available #EngravedEpics #Ramayana #Mahabharata #MATDOTArtCenter #InsomniaScene #ExhibitionReview #TravelPlanGiveaway #NewYearNewTrip

#InsomniaInExhibition "Open Ocean" by Peter Holden The exhibition invites us to experience the beauty and uncertainty of life through abstract and semi-abstract paintings filled with bright colors and a variety of techniques, reflecting the uncertainty of life, especially the various and challenging periods of change. The feeling may be like the deep and open sea, but is full of exciting surprises, just like in every moment of life that has both loss, happiness and new friendships. The artist's paintings beautifully embrace these conditions, especially his personal experiences from traveling to different places. Peter Holden is an artist born and raised in California and is an American citizen, but has spent most of his life in Mexico and has had the opportunity to travel to different cities. The change of place is an important inspiration that fills his work. This time, Bangkok is a new area that allows the artist to find different energy. The works in this exhibition are not just recording stories of daily life, but also spreading feelings that come from deeply observing the surroundings. The artist's journey and changes every time are like communicating with new people and places that the artist has encountered. The artist has brought the energy he receives from walking around the big city of Bangkok to convey in his work, especially the techniques of using oil, charcoal and spray paint that are continuously layered and adjusted. It is a creation that reflects the uncertainty of life, which may seem daunting. But it is full of value and endless novelty. The name of the exhibition "Open Ocean" comes from the song "Layers" by Little Dragon, which matches Peter's feelings at the time he was discovering a new world, the feeling of the mysterious and vast sea, the unpredictable challenges of life and its possibilities. Come and experience the sea of ​​change in the "Open Ocean" exhibition. ----- 🗓 On display from today - November 5, 2024 📍Location: Matdot Art Center (Lan Luang Road, Bangkok) ⏰️ Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 💵 Free admission 🚘 Parking available ----- #OpenOcean #PeterHolden #MatdotArtCenter #InsomniaScene #art #exhibition #Art #Exhibition #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี #รีวิวตกแต่งภายใน #100วิธีเที่ยว

“KA-MEOW-SUTRA | Kama-Maew Sutra”, a love recipe by the cat, by artist Nawat Lertsawaengkit The Kama-Maew Sutra by Vatsyayana is an important scripture of ancient Indian culture that talks about love and various positions of sexual intercourse. However, the content of the Kama-Maew is not only about sex, but also reflects the way of life, society, and culture of India at that time, covering hygiene, social class, and history. It has also been a tool used in diplomacy since ancient times. Looking deeper into the background of the Kama-Maew, we will find that the gestures that are conveyed also convey stories of the culture and history of India in depth. Nawat Lertsawaengkit, the artist who created the artwork in this exhibition, is interested in Indian culture since he had the opportunity to study in Santiniketan, India, which was the time when he discovered the true meaning and content of the Kama-Maew. Nawat was inspired by studying the stories of India intensively until he found that this scripture is more profound than what is commonly understood. He therefore wanted to present the content of the Kama-Maew in a way that combines the cuteness and naturalness of cats, using cats as a representative to communicate the gestures of love and life. In this exhibition We will see hundreds of artworks that present the love gestures of cats, each piece conveying the meaning and emotion linked to the various gestures inspired by the Kama Sutra. The choice of cats as models not only reflects the artist's passion for this pet, but also adds interest and humor to the exhibition by presenting cat gestures that are similar to the various poses in the Kama Sutra in a fierce and fierce way. ----- 🗓 On display from today - November 5, 2024 📍Venue: Matdot Art Center (Lan Luang Road, Bangkok) ⏰️ Open daily from 10.00 - 18.00 hrs. 💵 Free admission 🚘 Parking available ----- #KAMEOWSUTRA #MatdotArtCenter #Kamasutra #InsomniaScene #art #exhibition #Art #Exhibition #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี #100วิธีเที่ยว #รีวิวโฆษณา
