SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ “Bangkok Boats: A portrait of Kh
 long Saen Saep”
DESCRIPTION:The Neilson Hays Library Art Galleries present:“Bangkok 
 Boats: A portrait of Khlong Saen Saep”A Painting exhibit by Jonathan
  WrightOn view in our Garden Café Gallery from May 31st – June 26t
 h 2011You are invited to join the opening reception on June 2nd, from 
 6-8 pm.These paintings form the beginning of a series of paintings of 
 the boats, the canals, and the crew who work on them. On my very firs
 t day in Bangkok, a few years ago, I took my first ride on the Khlong 
 Saen Saep canal boats. Having lived in several places where the water 
 is a vital part of life, such as Amsterdam, Venice, CA, and the Solent
 , England, this boat journey was an inspiration. The sheer bravado of 
 their speed, noise, and power being used in these narrow canals was an
  unforgettable experience and said very much about the skill, daring a
 nd panache of the people who crew them. Regardless of the dynamic natu
 re of these vessels there was also something irreplaceably romantic ab
 out them. I heard, quite recently, a rumor that these boats are to be 
 “modernized” and I know what that means.  In the meantime, I hope
  that my perspectives on this unique part of Bangkok life can be recor
 ded before the character of these extraordinary vessels disappear. Jo
 nathan Wright’s style of work is a result of his education:  after 
 training as a design engineer in Sheffield, UK, he went on to study fi
 ne art and anatomy as the Ruskin School of Drawing at Oxford Universit
 y. This combination of draughtsman ship and classical study of anatomy
  naturally led him to equestrian portraiture of thoroughbred racing ho
 rses.  He is a member of the society of equestrian artists and has ex
 hibited his works worldwide.  Another element of his work has been in
  marine painting and the study of water. As an extension of this work 
 is the current exhibition of the khlong boats.  Jonathan divides his 
 time between his studio on the Isle of Wight in the south of England a
 nd in Bangkok.If you would like further information about the artist o
 r the opportunity to interview him, please contact Angelique Leijdekke
 r, curator of the Rotunda and Galleries at the Neilson Hays Library by
