From the Past to Present, Still Luscious (2008) by Lampu KansanohArt Centre Silpakorn University
“From the Past to Present, Still Luscious” is an oil painting completed with vibrant colors from meticulous and signature brush strokes from Lampu Kansanoh, a female artist who creates artwork reflects joy.
Among the distinctive features are unrealistic shapes, from large heads to small bodies, from size reduction to enlargement, from amplification of each body parts to various expressions.
Inspired by caricatures, the artist uses humor to tell stories of familiar figures and subsequently shed light on the society.
The art illustrates fast, confident, and precise brush strokes in realistic colors.
Apart from the beauty and emotions portrayed in “From the Past to Present, Still Luscious,” it also has the connection with love stories of the artist.
The work also depicts the impermanence of life and physical beings, all of which is inevitable.
In addition to that aspect, it serves as a reminder that external appearance should not be judged, while the true internal nature should be the focus.
