S Gallery, Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, recently opened its new and inspiring art exhibition, 'Oneness' by Sarawut Yasamut'.
The solo exhibition is a showcase for the work of Sarawut Yasamut, a talented Thai artist with Master Degree in Fine Arts from Thailand's renowned Silpakorn University. In his exhibition, Sarawut illustrates the concept ofalways being connected online, his paintings ironically portray the digital through traditional painting techniques.
Sarawut Yasamut said, "Through this exhibition, I would like to show the transformation of my emotions and feelings as a result of my obsession with online media. I have expressed my feelings through a collection of oil paintingsin a frenzy of swift and powerful brush strokes to depict the state of my emotions and feelings at different points in time"
Sarawut Yasamut's imaginative exhibition of 'Oneness' displays colorful modes, pixilated imagery and significant correlation with today's generation and one that will resonate with many Bangkokians. By showcasing this modern art,it also shows how S Gallery has its finger firmly on the pulse of the vibrant Bangkok art scene.
Mr.Marshall Orton, Executive Assistant Manager of Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, said recently,"S Gallery is the only art gallery in a 5-star Bangkok hotel. Sarawut's art is the perfect complement to perfomers at Fête de la Musique.
The two art forms will create a compelling evening for our guests. We look forward to a truly magnifique evening of art and music."
Sarawut Yasamut's creative work will be displayed at S Gallery until 6 September 2016.
Oneness Art Exhibition by Mr. Sarawut Yasamut at S Gallery
The way of life of human beings in modern society has become so undeniably intertwined with technology media that it now plays an ever more significant role in our everyday life. Thanks to the advancement of the Internet,
we now live in a boundaryless and globalised world in which people in different parts of the globe are able to connect with each other easily through a new online platform called "social media". Suddenly it's now possible to talk
to anybody anytime we want. Given the increasingly blurred boundary between the real world and the virtual world, many of us find it hard to avoid the trappings of the digital age like information overload, which could be uncontrollable
at times. It looks as if this formless and intangible online world kept pulling our souls in. But it's true that some people have derived greater happiness from it than the real world even.
Titled "Oneness", this art exhibition is a perfect fusion of online and real worlds. It is also a virtual representation of oneness with emotions and feelings. This virtual sphere is a reflection of human feelings. These days moreand more people gravitate towards the virtual realm than the real world itself. The point is those around us in the physical world cannot tickle our fancy the way the denizens of the virtual world can. The virtual experience is likea retreat from reality into a world of delusion in which it's easy to forget our appropriate real-world role as human beings for a while.
Every time we want to express ourselves or convey our inner feelings, we always log onto the Internet and take pleasure in the virtual world. Our feelings as expressed on social media might be real or unreal on occasion because
it is highly likely that we will allow our online expressions to be so coloured by our personal feelings and thoughts that it is impossible to tell the difference between real and unreal. Regardless, the virtual world provides an avenue
for the expression of self-identity of the electronic generation in our society these days.
