Inson Wongsam : The Autonomous Spirit
Organized by BACC exhibition dept.
12 September – 23 November 2014
Main Gallery, 9th floor
At 28, the young Northern artist-adventurer travelled on his scooter from Thailand heading to faraway
destinations
in Europe to broaden his art experiences. Exhibitions along with meetings with artists-critics from different cultures
have driven him, a Thai sculptor who was kindled with creativity, to excel his abstract works of art to be internationally
acclaimed. Travelling back to the homeland, the determined artist brought back nothing but 12 years of art
experience. With the spirit of a creator who explores and revisitshis native land, Inson Wongsam has mingled local
culture of the Northern and Abstract art harmoniously.
Inson Wongsam: The Autonomous Spirit features over 100 works including sculptural pieces (1974-now),woodprints
(1999-now), and the recent paintings (2013-now). His works usually reveal uniqueness in relation to the depth of
human mind. The exhibition also includes another significant series of sculptures such as "Huay Fai" (1974-1977)
which was created from the huge stump of teak unfolds the yearning for the purity abides in nature that instigates
the community to concern with the
loss of trees and forests; miniatures of "Sculptures Under the Sea" (1968-1974),
a series of metallic sculptures that suggests the awareness of environmental problems and natural crises are. Some
pieces belonging to the series will be fully expressed through a piece of Video art by Jirasak Saengpolsith, Thai
contemporary artist; and there is also a set of reassemble sculptures (1997-now), which assembles distinctive
pieces of wood with dowel joints that can be adjustable.
