“Although great pain will never fully disappear, small happiness, when accumulated, is powerful enough to eclipse the misery.”

Artist Carbonn Black chooses to tell his stories through the familiar elements from games and cartoons. This exhibition foregrounds the artist’s belief that no matter how old we are, we are still children at heart. 

As an exhibition, “Safe House No. 7” represents a safe space to once again become a child by indulging in games and cartoons: a powerful means of escapism where pain is alleviated as soon as we sit down, plug in, and press play.

About Artist: Phuraphol Sotaiyin

Carbonn Black was a child who was distanced from his parents while growing up, Carbonn Black uses painting as a tool to fulfill his incomplete childhood. He knew from a very young age that painting was something he wanted to do. No matter where life has taken him, he always finds his way back to painting at the end.At the start of his painting career, art was a struggle for the artist. For years, he had been trying to figure out how to ‘make it’. He believes that is one of the causes of his depression. However, once he chose to follow his heart and started painting just what made him happy, he realised that art, which was the cause of his depression, could also be used to save him.Carbonn Black is currently based in Bangkok, Thailand. He paints full-time and prefers to keep his identity and personal life private.
