The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is proud to present I Am You, a contemporary art exhibition featuring the
works of Vasan Sitthiket. This Vasan exhibition gathers together more than 100 master works.
The uniqueness of Vasan’s paintings lies in its attractive, but challenging nature. His personally
created free-form artistic language and diversified patterns of movement respond to the
contemporary societal issues at hand. Through the elements of sarcasm, satire, and implicative
comparison, his works are shaped and tempered to perfection by the artist’s well-versed artistic
expertise in exploring various means of expression, which also include various initiatives with artist
groups and activists from both private and public sectors who fight for societal, political, and
environmental justice. Vasan has been one of the Thai artist representatives to participate in various
international exhibitions in Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and United States of
America.
I Am You exhibition is a culmination of concepts from the work I Am You (1993) which explores the
soul’s transmigration and sufferings. For this year’s iteration, I Am You is reinterpreted and presents
works spanning from the year 1975 to the present day; starting with a retrospective look into the
beginning of the artist’s journey to understand the essence of his ideas and works through his
present participation in various social activities.
In addition to the narration of Vasan Sitthiket’s work concepts and life as an artist and activist, educational activities such as Curator Tour, Artist Talk, Critic Talk and workshops are also available at the exhibition:
