Our environment—both natural and manmade—along with the events surrounding us, has long served as a wellspring of inspiration for artists.

In this exhibition, two veteran female artists, Kanya Charoensupkul and Beppe Kessler, each shaped by distinct countries, cultures, and artistic traditions, draw upon these diverse inspirations—both beautiful and unsettling—translating them into visual narratives. Their works reflect their inner states of mind with fluid, open-ended stories of life expressed through their use of shape, form, color, and texture. While their art leans toward the abstract, it remains uncategorized within traditional abstraction, perhaps because both artists work across various media not typically aligned with this genre, using unique methods to express their artistic visions.

Materials are central to both artists’ work, deeply connected to their training. Kanya incorporates paper into her paintings, using it to construct textures and forms, while Beppe integrates textiles, stretching fabric over carefully designed and crafted frames. Both artists also engage with collage: Beppe in her small sculptures and wearable art, and Kanya directly within her paintings.

ATTA Gallery is honored to serve as the “intersection” where these two artists and their creative paths meet.  We hope that this duo exhibition will foster a dialogue between their practices, where techniques and colors intersect, revealing commonalities amid differences.
