Charity Ball (1968) by Bundit PadungvichianArt Centre Silpakorn University
Bundit Padungvichian depicts a sense of pleasure through the painting of a dance ball by distorting the realistic elements while exuding liveliness.
Fauvism, rather than realism, plays an immense role on how the artist portrays freedom and joy.
As shown in the ways that bodies, faces, and movement are portrayed, it is clear that the artist intends to use the curved lines and freeform composition in combination with bold outlines to present motions.
The selected colors are vibrant and show a complete contrast against one other.
While some colors are opaquer due to the different applications of brushstrokes.
Various elements are also incorporated to make the overall picture livelier.
Although simple and distorted, the drastic differences surprisingly come together harmoniously, filling “Charity Ball” with life and movement as if music can be heard from looking at the artwork.
