"A Difficult Journey: Thai artist Kritsana Chaikitwattana"
2003-02-23 until 2003-03-16
Thavibu Gallery
Bangkok, , TH Thailand

Thavibu Gallery is pleased to present the art exhibition A Difficult Journey - by the Thai artist Kritsana Chaikitwattana, on 22 February - 16 March, 2003. Kritsana Chaikitwattana was born in 1977 in Hat Yai, graduated with a Bachelor Degree from Chulalongkorn University in 1998, and with a Master Degree from Silapakorn University in 2002. He creates works by first carving on vinyl tiles or plywood and then paint with oil.

Most of his works feature the grim faces of the poor who have taken the difficult journey to the city in order to try their luck and improve their lives. This is a statement expressing the artists compassion and concern for the poor and homeless in Thai society. Some of his paintings feature the contrast and disparity between the middle class Thais and the poorer segment of the society.
