PATTAYA IN MY MIND……

The proprietors are going to promote contemporary artists by holding regular monthly exhibitions in their spacious and well appointed new gallery.  Their inspiration has come very much from the nearby “Gallery Opium” which has for the last four years led the way in promoting contemporary art from around the world. 

The opening exhibition at KC Space provides an eclectic mix of styles from eighteen Thai artists.  The styles and techniques vary greatly.  There are a number of mixed media collages which are absorbing and contemporary.  Samart Khajornrit’s “Show Girl’s Curtain”, Yongyuth Suparattanakul’s “Final Night” and Kriangsak Trongthong’s “Showgirls” were extremely imaginative and well executed. 

The night life and landscape of Pattaya are a dominant theme throughout the exhibition.  The bright colors and figures in the pictures reflect the glitzy, dream like quality of the night haunts.  You can almost hear the music emanating form Sirijan Noila’s aptly named picture “Moths” which portrays Walking Street.  There are two wistful and subtlety portrayed portraits by the talented artist Suriya Wiset.  These two pictures have a mesmerizing charm. 

The new “KC Space Art Gallery” is an inspiring and exciting venue in which to view the emerging artistic talents of Thailand
