Thailand is a country with cultural diversity. The "Red Area And Black Spirit" art exhibition presents two cultures that reflect the differences between two woodcut artists -- Chayasit Orisoon and Warisara Apisampinwong. While Chayasit showcases Song or Tai Dam culture in his "Black Spirit" room, Warisara exhibits Chinese-Thai culture in her "Red Area". Both Chayasit and Warisara are colleagues who earned a master's in visual arts from Silpakorn University. Since their woodcut pieces involve culture, they decided to hold the exhibition together at the People's Gallery, Bangkok Art & Culture Centre.
"We want to present woodcuts in the form of contemporary art that depicts multiculturalism. The 'Red Area' refers to Chinese-Thai culture and 'Black Spirit' refers to Tai Dam culture. Contemporary art is a core that connects different ethnicities together," Chayasit said.
