Kitikong Tilokwattanotai

Date:

9 November 2024 - 11 January 2025

Kitikong Tilokwattanotai introduces his new body of work, which is a culmination of his experiments over the past 5 years, in this series titled, (Brackets). Bringing together his fatherly intuition and his artistic curiosity which he carries with him in whatever he does, Tilokwattanotai observes his son as he grows and learns through playing, and begins to approach his art in similar ways.

Loosely inspired by play blocks such as Legos and Tetris, Tilokwattanotai sees his paintings as elements that may exist alone or in free combination with other paintings. Each piece, done through painting hundreds of layers of acrylic paint of varying consistency and layers of lacquer coating, offers a transitional space between the two-dimensions and the three-dimensions. Similar to Lucio Fontana’s intrigue in the space and dimensions of a painting; or Barbara Hepworth’s beauty in the negative space of her sculptures, Tilokwattanotai sees the empty space around and in between his paintings as part of the occupied space by our thoughts.

Sometimes when we communicate, the spoken words alone may not be sufficient to convey our thoughts and intrigues; instead, non-verbal communications sometimes can offer a greater depth and nuance. Much the same, sometimes silence or omission can become key to the message, and what is inside the brackets becomes the core information. (Brackets) offers a playground for the audience to explore new ways to communicate with Tilokwattanotai’s paintings and navigate the relationship with the invisible.

This exhibition also invites artists from other disciplines to collaborate with Tilokwattanotai. tomorrow.lab work welcomes the audience to interact with Tilokwattanotai’s works through motion-captured dance movements, while Wasu Wanrayangkoon, a movement-based performance artist, is invited to introduce elements of playfulness and interactivity through audience participation. Richard Reaveley, a programmer, is also invited to explore the intersection between art and AI through the use of chatGPT to broaden the way we communicate, and the way we describe art through various points of view. Through these collaborations, Tilokwattanotai highlights the fluid nature of his works, and the development of his practice that is becoming more and more multi-disciplinary.

The exhibition "(Brackets)" will be on display from November 9th, 2024 to January 11th, 2025 on the 1st floor of SAC Gallery. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, November 9th at 5:00 PM on the 1st floor of SAC Gallery to meet fellow art enthusiasts and the artist, Kitikong Tilokwattanotai. Admission is free.
