From a blank-faced character to natural light, a number of solo exhibitions are inviting art enthusiasts to find harmony in the fast-paced world for free throughout this month in Bangkok.
How should an experience of feeling lost be expressed? Chainarong Insakol does it through a character in his solo exhibition at Supples Gallery.
Running until May 3, "In The Midst of Gray" presents the artist's perspective through Chawky. His character expresses emptiness and indifference, that feeling when we are too young to know our needs and emotions.

This experience is not different from grey itself. It is a colour that can never belong to anything beautiful. It occupies a liminal space between white and black, darkness and light, and feeling and logic.
Chainarong is an artist who takes an interest in graffiti. Most of his works feature details that consistently represent street art, whether through techniques, colours or forms that appear with his character.
Meanwhile, Natagon Khamkayprong explores the pursuit of simplicity amidst the complexity of contemporary life in a solo exhibition at Richard Koh Fine Art Bangkok.
Running until April 11, "I Am A Still Life Painter" presents his oil paintings that embody a harmonious way of living. His works offer a moment of quiet reflection in contrast to the fast-paced city rhythm, encouraging a mindful relationship between creation, the self and society.

Natagon's practice revolves around the philosophy that living simply is not a rejection of society, but a conscious choice to retain only what supports co-existence with the surrounding environment. This ethos is reflected in his painting process that reduces unnecessary details and adopts a simple working method.
Sitvut Prabripoo captures the motion of a small fragment of nature -- light -- in his solo exhibition at River City Bangkok.
Running until May 3, "Lightscape" invites an exploration of landscapes through mosaics of coloured mirror and oil-painted details. Coloured glass coalesces rays of sunlight when they strike the surface of water, shatter into sparkling shards against ice and snow, wink through the leaves of a tree or soak into desert sands, while brushstrokes of oil paint introduce the life of the forest to the canvas.
