Dwelling in a Space: Patoong collage & installation
Exhibited since | February 10, 2012 | Comments Off
February 21 – March 25, 2012
Opening Reception with the artist: Tuesday, February 21, 6-8pm
Galerie N is pleased to announce Dwelling in a Space, a solo exhibition of Korean artist Gi-ok Jeon. Gi-ok will present a series of her recent paintings, a site-specific installation, and woodcut print experiment.
Gi-ok has been developing her themes around identity, alienation, woman and relation as she seeks her genuine identity in a relationship in a new place. As a foreign artist, woman and mother living in Thailand, Gi-ok has depicted her experience of separation from her home country and adaptation to a new culture by fusing traditional Thai fabrics, known as ‘Patoong,’ with traditional Korean (East Asian) brush painting. Notably, as a way of fusing between the two cultures, she focuses on juxtaposing the images of her mixed-race daughter with various patterned patoongs in a seemingly non-gravitated space.
In this exhibition Gi-ok also presents a shadow installation of birdcage like figures which resonates relation between three-dimensional objects and their two-dimensional representations, and tension between reality and illusion. Also she introduces her new experiment of woodcut prints that connects her sustaining theme.
About artist Gi-ok Jeon has an MFA from Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Her works have been shown in various group and solo exhibitions, including, most recently, POINTfeed Project at Gallery Boda in Seoul. She lectured on Oriental Painting and Chinese Ink Brush during her artist-in-residency at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.

Memoir of Imprinted Imageries
Exhibited since | October 25, 2011 | Comments Off
by Neungruthai Puekpean
19 October to 19 November 2011
Opening Reception is on 19 October 2011, 6 pm at Galerie N
Neungrutai Puekpean, a young, talented female artist tells stories of family bonding and a way of life through cut and groove images on wood. The depth from the grooves is similar to how our brain imprints memories and experiences. These memories are stored and hidden and can be recalled when stimulated. These imprints result from the thoughts, emotions, and feelings residing within her sub-consciousness. She fuses these imprints with her childhood imagination to create unique images of artworks that connects and conveys the Thai way of life.
Lingering thoughts of love and her bond to beloved ones are recalled by telling these stories. It brings back a contented memory and the hope of bringing a smile and happiness focused on family values. She seeks to recall a simpler way of Thai life, of taking memories faded and breathing life into them.

Portraits of Imaginary Machines
Exhibited since | July 12, 2011 | Comments Off
Paintings by Prabda Yoon
July 12 – August 13, 2011
Opening Reception is on Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 6 pm. at Galerie N
Prabda started to think about painting portraits of imaginary machines when he started to feel that contemporary technology is becoming increasingly flat, characterless, too slick. He started to miss what now must seem to consumers to be “awkward” objects, such as bulky typewriters with big key blocks or fat TV sets with huge tuning knobs and long antenna sticking out. The sentiment made him want to create his own “old-fashioned” machines, machines with a sense of individuality, like people. Since he knew nothing about creating real machines, He decided to make them up in his head, then try his best to translate the images in his head into paintings.
Prabda Yoon, born in Bangkok in 1973, is a writer, publisher, translator, and graphic designer. Graduated with a Fine Arts degree from the Cooper Union in New York City in 1997, Prabda continues to make art in his spare time. He has occasionally exhibited his paintings, photographs, and installations in Thailand as well as in Japan.

Mellon Collie
Exhibited since | June 2, 2011 | Comments Off
by Narissara Pienwimungsa
2 June – 3 July, 2011
Opening reception is on Thursday 2 June at 6 pm at Galerie N
“Mellon Collie” is the latest exhibition by the talented Narissara Pianwimungsa.
The artist is finely attuned to human emotions and her unique creations are always accompanied by profound thoughts
and feelings towards human behaviors. The artist is inspired by the ‘Defense Mechanism’
a working process in human mentality, a reaction to a situation to ease the mental pain and confusion.
When we face an undesirable situation, we suppress, distort or create our own imaginary world to escape from the real, suffering world.
Narissara presents this mental process through drawing; her lines and strokes are an abrupt conversation with the subconscious mind, they weave and stitch together representing repetition and the obsessive mind seeking relief.

Ars Longa, Vita Brevis
Exhibited since | February 22, 2011 | Comments Off
By Bhensine Nilavadhanananda
February 24 – March 24, 2011
Opening reception on Thursday, February 24, 2011, 6 pm. @Galerie N
Bhensine Nilavadhananandha has become well know around the art circle of Thailand in the 15 years through 6 of her individual exhibition and several others jointly displayed with her fellow artist friends.
Thirty years ago, after becoming well grounded in her art studies and practice in Thailand. Bhensine went to Paris, the hub of the world’s first class masterpieces. There her strong artistic passion became enriched and fulfilled. The result is this exhibition of her works to share with her art admirers.
Most of her paintings depict landscapes in many countries. It is obvious that Bhensine does not mean to depict reality but to concentrate more on the harmonic relation of things presented in the frame. The highlight of her works lies in the use of colors that reflect the mastering of color technique. One can feel the artist’s freedom in applying color to respond to her own imagination and feelings, resulting from both external and internal perception. The artist has stepped outside the bounds of theory and other means of control. Thus viewers can reach her only with the heart and aesthetic sensibility while transcending reality to the celestial realm of appreciation.
It is hoped that this exhibition of Bhensine’s painting will inspire some creators of art work who have unconsciously drifted along with the social current to consider the idea and desire of lifestyle that they really wish to obtain.

by Seni Chamdej

Opening reception on Tuesday 7 September 2010 at 6 pm at Galerie N on Withayu Road
“Nature in Space” is the latest exhibition by the well-respected artist Seni Chamdej. The artist is well known for his nature-inspired abstract painting through the use of exotic and vivid color. Seni’s works stirs images of nature’s wonders and makes us ponder what lies beyond what we see. Colors represent his thoughts and feelings towards nature… bright shade, dark shade, to create contrast and space in between. It is a quest for truth in nature.
Seni Chamdej has devoted himself to abstract painting and he hopes viewers take in his message to be kind to Mother Nature. In today’s world humans dominate and exploit nature, but man and nature depend on each other, they must coexist together. The balance of nature and its elements… earth…wind…fire…water…are intertwined in his works and are fundamental for our lives.
