» Pelagan S, an illustrator, graphic and visual artist, was interested in the rawness of symbols and characters that appear on tattooed talismans. Although attracted to the original patterns, he wanted to create his own versions, so he extracted and redesigned the forms to be more modern and made paintings of them. He later presented the paintings to SAC Gallery's curators -- Patticha Thitithammaporn and Nutdanai Songsriwilai -- for exhibition. The curators, inspired by his work, developed the exhibition "Mu Te Lu: Ilmu Teluh" which features works of four artists -- Pelagan S, Eiair, Jun Sekino and Noon Passama.
