The ephemeral nature of life is latent in the works of Attasit Aniwatchon, who went through the Thai Buddhist ritual as a novice monk. His works dubbed ‘Interiority’ plays on the illusion of still-life ceramica-like figurines to tell self-reflecting experiences and observances. It references the core Buddhist belief of Anicca (Impermanence) – transiency, evanescence and inconstancy – but with modern-day objects of play or decoration. Attasit is no stranger to Malaysian, having been featured in Richard Koh’s contemporary art space in Kuala Lumpur, and comes from the Thai stable of Numthong Gallery in Bangkok, after its collector-owner Numthong Sae Tang. He graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Graphic Arts from the Silpakorn University in Bangkok, and now teaches there as a special instructor. Apart from his Photo-Realist paintings, he is also adept at lithography and etchings.
