#InsomniaInExhibition Explore the path of the mind through the eyes of a young girl "Journey of Insight" by artist Nim Tanimporn Because the path of self-discovery does not happen overnight, but it can be a long journey, full of doubt, understanding and change. This exhibition is the artist's personal diary that has been transformed into paintings. The girl in the painting reflects various moments, including happiness, sadness, confusion and courage. She is like a mirror that allows the audience to look deep into their own hearts. The artist records emotions, thoughts and personal experiences in the form of colorful paintings, full of the charm of dreams and reality that overlap, using art as a tool to communicate and understand inner emotions, whether it is innocence, dreams or hidden wounds. The artist's main character is a girl who looks like a character from a manga or fairy tale. She has big round eyes that reflect the world she sees. The artist uses colors and lines freely, without the framework of rules, to create power and movement in the artwork. The use of bright and intense colors reflects both the warmth and mystery in the emotions, as well as the composition of the image that gives the feeling of being lost in a dream world. Each piece of work is the artist's diary, recording both bright and dark moments, blending together harmoniously. Some are full of tenderness, while others reflect vulnerability and complex emotions. Let's explore our own emotions, memories and thoughts in the land of our hearts at the "Journey of Insight" exhibition. 🗓 Open now - March 30, 2025 📍 Venue: Joyman Gallery (Bangkok) ⏰️ Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 11.00 - 18.00 hrs.

#InsomniaInExhibition Innocence may not just be what we lose when we grow up, but it is what we choose to keep or destroy. "The Voice of Innocence" is an exhibition that will take us to explore the innocence of being a child by artist PEX - Pitakpong Chiamsriphong. In a complex world, full of conflicts between brightness and cruelty, the artist presents works that reflect the voices of children through cute and adorable paintings of children, conveying sincere, honest and unadorned feelings through more than a thousand words on hundreds of sheets of paper, reflecting the child within all of us, no matter how grown up we are on the outside. The works in the exhibition present images of children in various emotions and dimensions. Some children look happy, some look gloomy, or some express doubt and confusion, reflecting various aspects of being a child, whether it is a child full of hope, a child who has to bear expectations, or even a child who has been silenced. In addition to the images, what stands out in the works is the use of letters as part of the image. The text written on the artwork is not just a decorative element, but is a straightforward statement, conveying thoughts, memories, emotions, happiness, sadness, or even anger about what is happening in society through simple, sincere and straightforward language, like the words of a child who does not need to be adorned. These messages reflect the relationship between being a child Innocence and a world that is increasingly cruel This exhibition reflects us on the voices of children that may be overlooked. The artist presents innocence through simple but emotional paintings, making us ask ourselves, "Do we still have a child inside us?" and "Are we listening to the voices of children in this world?" In addition to being works that convey emotions through images and words, this exhibition is also a mirror reflecting the current society and culture. In a way, it may be a warning to adults who may sometimes overlook the feelings of children, or even a criticism of society that may be causing children to lose their innocence sooner than they should. The audience will gain a new perspective on being a child, not just in terms of age, but also in terms of spirit, because after all, everyone was once a child. And maybe the childhood never truly disappears from us. 🗓 Open now - March 30, 2025 📍 Venue: Joyman Gallery (Bangkok) ⏰️ Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Closed every Monday) 🚗 Private car parking: Wat Thepthidaram car (parking fee applies) 💵 Free admission #TheVoiceOfInnocence #JoymanGallery #PitakpongJamesripong #InsomniaScene #trip #ExhibitionReview #NewYearNewTrip

#InsomniaInExhibition Open the door to a parallel dimension of the human and spirit worlds with the exhibition "A Long Folklore" by artist Nai Krang and his friend, George (Boy - Nattapat Dissorn) 👻 The artist was inspired by his cultural background and the environment that surrounded him during his childhood in Surat Thani Province, a land full of stories and folklore that are deeply rooted in the souls of the people. His elder relatives often told mysterious stories and folktales that contained teachings through the strategies in the content. As he grew up, he was fascinated by stories of the supernatural and beliefs about the afterlife. He also studied the relationship between fear and ignorance, which humans use as tools to intimidate or control each other in society. "A Long Folklore" tells the story of a life that combines humans and the supernatural in a parallel dimension through the main character, Nai Krang, a thin man with a mysterious personality who has to face karma from many past lives. He has a companion, a Thai dog named George, who is actually a former angel who was punished to be reincarnated as a human. But turned into a dog due to a mistake in the cycle of karma. In the world of Mr. Krang and his friend George, the artist tells the story of the coexistence between humans, angels, ghosts, spirits, demons, and spirits in a parallel dimension filled with endless desires, happiness, suffering, and suffering. This world reflects the cycle of life and karma in a dark fantasy that is both mysterious and creepy, but still beautiful and powerful in its details. The exhibition presents works in various forms, including oil paintings, watercolors, and line drawings. Each work tells the story of life after death in different realms, reflecting human beliefs, faith, and superstition, along with questioning the truth and deception in society. 📍Location: Joyman Gallery (Bangkok) #LongFolklore #JoymanGallery #InsomniaScene #NewYearNewTrip

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck #VisitExhibition "The Space that Makes Us Human" Explore silence, mindfulness and awareness through art by artist Gelo Montiero The exhibition presents artworks that are full of the depth of human experience by using art as a tool to tell stories without words but can tell more than words. Each piece of work is a reflection of finding meaning in silence, dreams and emotions conveyed through the poetic visuals that the artist creates. One of the main concepts that the artist wants to convey is the awareness of the present, giving importance to the space that makes us human, which is a space where we can truly discover ourselves and understand the world. The artist's works often reflect daily life, deep reflection in one's own mind, silence and contemplation of what happens in this process are conveyed through the image of a person covered with a large cloth, a symbol of safe space and hidden emotions. The highlight of the artist's work is the simple but powerful pattern and the use of a black background to create a quiet atmosphere like meditation. The colored lines that reduce the details to only the necessary, along with the use of Earth tones that blend and convey a simple feeling, enhance his work to be profound, as if inviting the viewer to walk into the awareness within themselves. Another interesting point is that the artist often uses various symbols in his work, such as a cloak that acts as a barrier between the outside world and the inner feelings, a crown that represents the power of mindfulness, or light and shadow that represents awareness. The artist was inspired by the book The Power of Now, which emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the present moment, and he seamlessly incorporates this concept into his artwork. In addition to the inspiration from the book, the artist also draws on his experience in the film industry in his artwork. The cinematic composition and the use of chiaroscuro lighting, inspired by Caravaggio, give his paintings a dramatic and profound mood. The lighting of the main characters while the background is covered in darkness, further intensifies the content that conveys awareness and self-discovery. The works in this exhibition do not only want the audience to receive the message, but also invite us to interpret it through our own experiences. The silence that the artist creates in his works is like a stage for us to find the answers in our feelings by contemplating, examining, and being in the present. To find new meanings that are unique ----- 📍 Location: Joyman Gallery (Bangkok) 🗓 Exhibition until October 27, 2024 ⏰️ Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 11.00 - 18.00 hrs.

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck "FUTURA DRAMATICS", a meeting point between the past and the future, the future that is a reflection of the past, and the past that is the beginning of the future by Tat Nattee (Tat-Natthee Sujittra) From the artist's personal experiences, perspectives on the world and society, events that he has encountered, and interesting conversations that the artist has had with his own children and daughter, the artist has conveyed these stories through child characters acting in a play scene similar to role-playing, like a theater of the future. The artist tells the story through Science Fiction Art, which is an art that focuses on showing images of an imaginary world, which may be related to the future, space, advanced technology, or an unreal world, and Retro Futuristic Art, an art that combines elements of the future and the past, conveying technological advancements and the image of the future from the perspective of people in the past, like going back in time to see what the future was like in the eyes of people from the past. The exhibition tells the story through children's characters who play imaginary roles in the future world from stories from the past that they have experienced, to serve as a mirror that makes them think deeply about what is in front of them at present and what might happen in the future.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Visit the Exhibition That Invites Us to Find Ourselves with "Hide and Seek" by artist Ellen Sheidlin This exhibition invites us to explore the space between consciousness and subconsciousness, between childhood and adulthood, between light and darkness, through the story of a child who has to live in dim light to find something in a big house that he doesn't know what it is. The artist invites us to find the answer to the question, "What if what you are really looking for is probably looking for you?", "When did searching for yourself become running away from yourself?", and "When was the last time you really found yourself?" The exhibition asks us questions about finding ourselves through the story of a room (entering an unfamiliar place), antlers, and candlelight, which are full of symbols for us to try to interpret. A 'room' may not just be a square space that we create from walls and ceilings, but it is the entire world that we live in, which is limitless and full of mysteries waiting to be revealed. The 'antlers' that grow and spread in this room symbolize growth and change, which in this process may be involved in chaos and freedom, which is the source of creativity and new discoveries. That often happens when we dare to let go of order. In this room, the light from the 'candle' is more than just light. It symbolizes enlightenment. But at the same time, the candle represents blindness. When the light from the candle is used to conceal something, instead of revealing it, we may find that the knowledge we have is not the whole truth, but only a small part that we accept. The process of knowing ourselves is full of contradictions. It is not just about finding answers. Every time we encounter a new truth, it often leads to new questions waiting for us to discover. The world has become a room full of endless questions. But in this infinity, we may find that our true identity lies in the process of exploring and questioning these questions. 📍Location: Joyman Gallery (Bangkok) 🗓 On display until September 8, 2024 ⏰️ Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Closed every Monday) 💵 Free admission 🚍 Travel: MRT Sam Yot Station, Exit 1 🚘 Parking: Wat Thepthidaram, Thai Airways Building, J Park Giant Swing, Ruamtun Thai Building (parking fee applies) #BangkokAttractions #insomniascene #insomniainexhibition #VisitExhibition #VisitMuseum #Exhibition #Art #joymangallery #artgallery #art

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Explore the world beyond imagination in the dream maze with "Perplexa Scenario", an exhibition that will take us to immerse ourselves in the world of surreal art from Thai and international artists. . Surrealism is an art that focuses on exploring the subconscious, dreams, and distorted reality, often creating illusions or connecting seemingly incompatible elements to create and add harmony. By famous artists such as Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst . If we look back at the development of surrealism, we can trace it back to the imaginative works of Hieronymus Bosch in the 15th century, whose works often reflect a deep understanding of human nature and the mind, with distorted and surreal images, to Romanticism in the late 18th century, which emphasized the expression of emotions, personal feelings, and the great and uncontrollable nature, and Dadaism in the 19th century. . Surrealism arose and developed and merged with other art styles. Up until the end of the 20th century, it gave rise to various art forms such as Lowbrow art and New Surrealist Art. It also branched out into sub-art forms such as Paradoxical art and Dystopian Surrealism, as well as Algorithmic Art today. PERPLEXA SCENARIO presents over 30 imaginative artworks from 14 Thai and international artists, including Takuya Mitani (Japan) / Domina (Canada) / Jesse Thompson (USA) / Valdo Manullang (Indonesia) / Niam Mawornkanong / Tarntara Sudadung / Bobby Leash / Ronnachai Kitisaksin / Keeyapat Katesawai / Nuttan Kongmalikunkaew / Jantima Phuangthong / Rangrong Kosiyaporn / Chonnapas Yokyai, including ‘Hide and Seek’, a solo exhibition by Ellen Sheidlin (Russia).
