Thai artist Kamin Lertchaiprasert documents his experiences with "pure perception" through a collection of paintings which are showcased during "Pure Perception? (Her)" at Atta Gallery until June 12.
The artist spent decades of his career pursuing an answer to the question -- how humans perceive an unadulterated reality -- through artistic practice. He found that reality is not physical appearances perceived by our sensory organs and there is also a limitation in encountering reality through emotion.
He has developed an approach which he calls "pure perception". It's considered a state of mind that contains loving-kindness, without expectation. For him, loving-kindness is intuition and intelligence that enable us to develop an unbiased understanding of problems at stake.
