Chatmongkol Insawang’s personal experience with sickness and death within his family motivated him to seek truth through the philosophy of life and nature, and this is reflected in his art. He negotiates between 2D and 3D mediums to represent the body’s deterioration through its visual form. The works on display include sculptures, works on paper and canvas, and are both twisted and distorted, aiming to understate the body’s being and present it as anonymous and uncharacteristic.
The exhibition draws inspiration from other artists who have explored the representation of the body in art, such as classical Greek sculptures, Titian’s paintings of female nudes, and Yoko Ono’s participatory work. Insawang’s unique take on the subject of the body and its metaphors and symbolism implies a complex meaning that extends beyond flesh and blood. Don’t miss out on this thought-provoking exhibition that will be on display at Richard Koh Fine Art.
