Hearts in the darkness
B Magazine, Ezra Kyrill Erker, Published on 06/01/2013
» Chris Coles _ in a book on noir and an ongoing exhibition at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand _ is one of the few artists to record the people and transactions of Bangkok's red light districts with all their vivid idiosyncrasies. He paints bright scenes in acrylics or watercolours, shapes the human form simply through thick black lines and captures some essential truths of a tawdry reality.

Their wildest dreams come true
B Magazine, Ezra Kyrill Erker, Published on 07/10/2012
» Harvesting rice in a golden landscape, driving through the rain, a frog ready to leap out of the canvas. The concept and title of a new exhibition is "Untamed" _ in a sense an artistic return to the beauty, colours and diversity of the natural world _ and features work by 10 artists from V64 Art Studio. There are cityscapes and human figures, but even here the elements of nature _ rain, sun, ageing, regrowth _ are in the ascendant.

The art of the matter
B Magazine, Ezra Kyrill Erker, Published on 01/07/2012
» Standing amid an eclectic collection of artworks at the opening of the exhibition "Empowering Women Farmers for a Sustainable Livelihood" are a handful of the artists.

Love pictured together, Standing apart
B Magazine, Ezra Kyrill Erker, Published on 01/04/2012
» At first Piyarat Piyapongwiwat's "Queerness", a series of photographs of couples, doesn't appear to be a gay art exhibition. The photos aren't a celebration of sexuality or an overt claim for rights. These are subtle and personal portraits; the relationships are not always immediately apparent and there is a timeless element to the compositions. As in a black and white photograph of your great-grandparents, the couples don't smile. They are posing, but not formally. The impression is of a quick window into the lives of couples, as they turn to look momentarily _ before resuming their lives. It's an intimate demonstration that same-sex couples are as loving and connected as any other.

Equality on the horizon
B Magazine, Ezra Kyrill Erker, Published on 01/04/2012
» Copper plates, holes in the wall, plywood. At first glance, "Pixel Horizon" by Montri Toemsombat doesn't seem that expressive.

But Thai photojournalist Bhanuwat Jittivuthikarn took a different approach to his subjects when he travelled the continent. "Yes there are many issues that require awareness, but I want to do it by showing a lighter side of humanity," he said.
