From the Big Apple to the Big Mango
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/05/2018
» It's all been there done that on the Cannes Lion advertising award circuit for Kantapon Metheekul. The young creative executive has won many awards, been featured in several publications and has illustrated for a handful of high street and luxury fashion brands -- but that's not his true calling. As someone who loved to draw since he was five, it was only natural that Kantapon's veins throbbed to become a full-time artist -- to draw his own creations and not what others briefed him to. After three years of working for advertising agencies, he packed his bags and headed to New York to become an artist.

A walk through royal fashion
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/08/2016
» To celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 7th cycle birthday this month, the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles unveils two stunning exhibitions that are open to the public: “Fit For A Queen: Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s Creations by Balmain” and “Dressing Gods and Demons: Costume for Khon”. The anatomy, culture and history of the khon costumes are shimmery stunners displayed in a dark room in order to preserve gold in certain pieces, but the true stunner is the other exhibition, which features Her Majesty’s wardrobe from the six-month state visit across Europe, where Thailand’s royal couple were formally introduced the West. The legendary Parisian couturier Pierre Balmain was the chosen designer to create all of her clothes and different galleries within the exhibition displays their relationship, which would last until his death in 1982.

But first, let me take a selfie

» Narcissus, Chanel and lots of gold all make up this multidisciplinary show by Chris Bowden (or Beejoir). Using hand-printed linen, industrial pigmented inks and even real snakes, "#NRCSSM" is the British artist's first major solo exhibition in Thailand after having lived here as an artist and curator for the past 15 years. Much of the inspiration for the show comes from our nation's very own shutterbugs, where vanity in the digital age means easily taking 3,000 selfies -- and seeing nothing wrong with it.

Sentiment lost in symbols
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/11/2015
» Personally, November is a bit of a bummer month, for not having anything to look forward to. The only festive frolicking is Loy Krathong -- and I'm not sure what that commemorates or celebrates precisely. Out of habit and some weird justification, my household will probably have to float something in our little village pond. Mostly because it's become a bit of a societal requirement -- you're considered a total misanthrope if the neighbours notice that you don't show up. Besides being shunned by the village, would I be forever blacklisted by the water gods for choosing to opt out of this eye-watering and ecologically reckless festival?

Clean, lean and everything in between
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/10/2015
» As a person who follows the self-sprinkled mantra of I-will-eat-whatever-the-hell-I-want, I have never been one to obsess over what I put into my mouth. If I want a cookie at midnight, with a side of chips, I am going to go stuff my face -- sans any guilt or calorie-counting. My heaven-sent gift of rapid-fire digestion is a side effect of being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism -- something that has unfortunately been slowing down since I have plummeted deeper into adulthood.

When art comes naturally
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/07/2014
» Things worked out perfectly for Yanawit Kunchaethong’s exhibition “Print from Paa Sa-nguan”, which features prints made with colours extracted from forest plants. After all, the 108-rai forest in Petchaburi in which he sourced his materials is owned by his family. Helping him further, knowledge and love for plants and trees have been instilled in Yanawit since he was young by his father, Sa-nguan, and mother, who even visited the forest while she was pregnant with him. His father’s name, in fact, also serves as a pun in the exhibition’s title, referring to both a conserved and the family’s forest.
