By Komkrit Sawatdirom
The exhibition at the Gossip Gallery will be divided into two parts. The first part, ‘Enlightenment’, will feature 17 acrylic paintings by Komkrit Sawatdirom. The roots of the artist’s inspiration are the basic teachings of the Lord Buddha which stress that our life experiences are a series of opposites – happiness and disappointment, birth and death, etc. - which go hand in hand. The Lord Buddha once said ‘No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.’ Since such contrasting experiences are a necessary part of our lives, the artist feels that to make the most of our existence, we should accept and embrace the good with the bad. He believes that our everyday problems can be overcome if the basic principles of morality and virtue are taken into consideration. To highlight this concept, Khun Komkrit has symbolically incorporated pure, gold leaves into some of his work. Critics have called the results are phenomenal and truly exquisite. ‘Enlightenment’ by Komkrit Sawatdirom will be on viewed from January 15th – February 3rd.
