DUKKHA – THE IMAGERY OF SUFFERING
DUKKHA – THE IMAGERY OF SUFFERING
Yavuz Fine Art is pleased to present Dukkha – The Imagery of Suffering, a solo exhibition by Thai artist Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew, on view from 8 March to 6 April 2014. Comprising eight mixed media portraits of the artist's family members, each in a different stage of life, this exhibition explores the concept of 'dukkha', a Buddhist term that describes suffering caused by constant change and the unavoidable truth of life.
Winner of the prestigious Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2006, Uttaporn has established himself as one of Southeast Asia's most exciting new generation artists. He is known for his unique mixing of media, manipulating and combining traditional techniques in an innovative new way. By painting over layers of fabric, netting and thread set within a deep encasement, he creates mesmerising three-dimensional paintings that seem to shift with our own movements, as we peer deeply into the glass to study each layer, or take a step back to consider the whole.
