Inside Room 107/257 (2008) by Kampanat SangsonArt Centre Silpakorn University
This acrylic painting, draped upon a rich, dark fabric, breathes life into forms and shapes that shimmer like an enchanting spell, beckoning the viewer to delve into the secrets woven within its depths.
Kampanat Sangson crafts a two-dimensional illusion, where various shapes and forms overlap and intertwine in a diagonal dance, inviting the eye to wander.
Between each form lies a realm of empty space, revealing a depth filled with curves and bulges. This interplay of elements bestows a unique meaning and character upon the composition, encouraging thoughtful exploration and interpretation.
Employing darker shades as a backdrop, the artist creates a sense of weight through the delicate balance of light and shadow, introducing lighter hues into each shape.
By juxtaposing contrasting colors—green against orange, purple against yellow, and light blue against pink—he heightens the visual tension and dynamic interplay within the artwork.
