Bangkok--27 May--VIE Hotel Bangkok
An exclusive and elegant networking party was recently held at the award-winning VIE Hotel Bangkok. Guests were invited to network while viewing arts, sipping wines, and the highlight of the evening, the illusion of art on the human body.
VIE Hotel Bangkok recently hosted the event to make guests life more elegant and entertaining; C’est La VIE…Life is Beautiful. The fund raising event for Bernie Cooper, the city’s highly respected food and wine writer, started off with Khun Farung Yutitum and Khun Varintorn Yaroojjanont who welcomed the discerning guests.
The artists were introduced to the guests with short interviews about their works, concepts, and inspirations. This was followed by theatrical body painting art illusion that left the guests and media speechless. Hundreds of photos were snapped and the room was filled with a hushed silence as the incredible work was demonstrated. The exclusive night was made more memorable by fine wine, exquisite finger food and sparkling entertainment for discerning networking groups. The evening’s sponsor, Siam Winery also supplied Chateau Vendome, a fantastic French wine that was also available to purchase and take home.
Finally, the guests parted with a group photo and lucky draw with fabulous prizes sponsored by VIE Hotel Bangkok, V Villas Hua Hin, VIE 39 Exclusive Club, VIE Slim Beauty Spa, Thailand Professionals Club, Thailand Luxury Network, Siam Winery Trading Plus Company Limited, and Carpediem Galleries

The VIE Hotel Bangkok’s experienced banqueting team together with Richard Wilson, Creative Director of Biz-Art, ensured the smooth and graceful running of the event. Richard Wilson was responsible for the talk-of-the-town body painting art illusion, is also the winner of the popular vote in the recent World Body Painting Festival in Koh Samui. He has painted more than 1000 faces and bodies in 6 countries.
The arts on display were the work of three uplifting artists; Chatchawan Rodklongtan, Theerapon Rurngpaisitporn, and Pearapong Khireewong who together with Carpediem Gallery provided the paintings. Chatchawan’s detailed gold work on black is widely sought after. At first sight, his work resembles temple paintings, yet the artist has pushed this skill further, taking the form from mere decorative walls, doors, and ceilings to boldly worked screens on canvas. Theerapon’s works in contrast are enriching and colourful. He has a unique way of capturing moments of ladies enjoying their time beautifully. Finally, Pearapong’s exceptional projects about peace have both concrete and abstract perspectives, and are strangely moving.
