Event Date : 04 August – 16 October 2011
Location: Gallery, 7th floor
exhibition of paintings by 28 young southern artists from the four provinces of Songkla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. The exhibition ‘ Emerging Patterns’, comprising of some one-hundred works, will showcase the on-going trends and current thinking of emerging young artists on the southern seaboard.
The exhibition will be on show at the BACC’s 7th floor gallery between 4th August to 16th October 2011, with the official opening on 9th August.
With the local backdrop rich in pattern-making commonly seen in everyday life such as on the batik fabric, on the gorlae fishing boats and Nang Talung shadow puppets, these young artists have made them their starting point and, employing such motifs in the paintings, proceed to articulate the contemporary world around them.
Among these artists, the intrinsic gift of pattern-making is discernible, riding on diverse local traditions. Yet a striking trend has also emerged – their strong desire to explore representational art, the freedom of which is discovered perhaps partly through the encouragement of, and reaction to, new art schooling established in the last decade.
