"Ordinary Paintings From Silly Love Songs"

by Attasit Aniwatchon

Richard Koh Fine Art Bangkok is pleased to present Ordinary Paintings From Silly Love Songs, a solo exhibition by Thai artist Attasit Aniwatchon. Running from 15 March to 5 April 2025, the exhibition unveils a deeply personal collection of works that intertwine music, memory, and artistic evolution.

In Ordinary Paintings From Silly Love Songs, Attasit Aniwatchon offers a reflective exploration of love, nostalgia, and artistic transformation. With over 20 years dedicated to painting love as a central theme, Attasit likens his works to recordings of life’s fleeting moments. The exhibition is inspired by Paul McCartney’s 1976 hit Silly Love Songs, a track that defied criticism to become a lasting anthem of love. Attasit finds a profound connection to the song’s sentiment, reinforcing his own commitment to painting love despite the ever-changing nature of life and art.

Within his compact studio, filled with musical instruments, amplifiers, and stacks of CDs, Attasit immerses himself in melodies that accompany his artistic process. His latest works embrace a diverse range of mixed media, evolving from traditional painting techniques to experimental integrations of contemporary technology, including AI. While he embraces digital advancements, Attasit also revisits the tactile experiences of collage-making, rediscovering the irreplaceable depth found in working with physical materials.

Attasit’s career has been a dynamic journey, shaped by an instinctive response to the emotions and moments that define his creative path. His paintings, much like the music that inspires them, serve as visual compositions that transcend words, allowing viewers to engage with their own interpretations of love, memory, and artistic reinvention.

Ordinary Paintings From Silly Love Songs marks a continuation of Attasit Aniwatchon’s ongoing dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation.
