SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Dek Oey Dek Dee\"
DESCRIPTION:DEK OEY DEK DEE! by Tawan Wattuya6 December 2014 - 13 Janu
 ary 2015\nSoft opening cocktail Thursday December 4 at 7PM (On invitat
 ion only)Opeing reception Saturday December 6 at 7PM (Open to the publ
 ic)\nThe Toot Yung Art Center is pleased to present \"Dek Oey Dek Dee\
 " Tawan Wattuya's latest series of poignant watercolors .\n\"Dek Oey D
 ek Dee\" (Good boys and girls) is a popular Thai children's song dicta
 ting how to be good by 10 moral rules. Under Thailand's oppressing gov
 ernment, artists have to juggle with subtility in order to expose thei
 r true thoughts towards the political situation. With this new body of
  work, Wattuya once again excels at transposing his provocative social
  visions into forceful and vibrant paintings. Inspired by an emblemati
 c Thai schoolbook, which has been used to educate thousands of Thai ch
 ildren since the seventies, Wattuya's latest paintings are a humoristi
 c satire of Thai youth's brainwash. Large scale watercolors depict the
  heroes of this famous schoolbook, juxtaposed with images of modern Th
 ai children in school gatherings. As a distant echo, the ensemble of t
 he exhibition creates a subtle link between Thailand's present regime 
 and the 1976 political turmoil and the dictatorship that followed.\nWa
 ttuya has been inspired by social and political issues for over 10 yea
 rs now which brought him to develop his unparalleled technique of larg
 e scale blurred watercolor. After working in art residencies in severa
 l countries, Europe, the US, Asia and even South America, Wattuya has 
 taken some distance from his homeland, studying the social and politic
 al situation from afar, bringing to his work more layers of understand
 ing and deepness. He is now considered one of Thailands' most unique a
 nd engaged painter. His works have been exhibited extensively in Bangk
 ok, Singapore, Beijing, Paris, New York Etc.\n\nFor more information v
