SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Hypnotize\"
DESCRIPTION:Richard Koh Projects is pleased to announce Sornchai Phong
 sa’s (b.1991) first solo exhibition in Thailand, Hypnotize, schedule
 d to run from 16 Nov – 6 Dec 2019. The artist will present 5 recent 
 works including 3 paintings on Lua fabric, 1 drawing on paper and an i
 nstallation piece consisting of string & terracotta.Sornchai developed
  his artistic identity from his interest in ethnic diversity. His work
 s reflect the relationships between humans, their beliefs and communit
 y through the distinctive presence of local materials in installation 
 art and painting. In Hypnotize, Sornchai revisits his long-standing fa
 scination between human behaviour and ‘invisible identities’, spec
 ifically the relationship between animistic beliefs and the ethnic tra
 ditions of the Lua people – an ethnic Thai group in which the artist
  belongs to.In this body of works, Sornchai critically examines the Lu
 a’s spiritual belief system, called Lua’s Spirits Totem, and how t
 hey inhabited the physical realm. It is the belief within this system 
 that males are regarded as the gatekeepers of the faith and venerated 
 defenders of cultural heritage. In Hypnotize, Sornchai seeks to disrup
 t this old system of belief that has controlled the hearts and minds o
 f the Lua people, through his critical juxtaposition of the prideful m
 ale and spectacle of theatrics, to legitimize their social standing in
  the community.The series’ flesh colour palette draws reference to a
  Buddhist folklore where Lord Buddha saved a village from meat hungry 
 giants by striking an agreement between them; that buffalos will be of
 fered to the giants as meat sacrifice by the villagers. At its core, L
 ua’s Spirit Totem is an amalgamation of Animism and Buddhism, and th
 e buffalo sacrifice represents the compromise between both sets of bel
 ief system. Through these works, Sornchai seeks to understand the myth
  and unpack the moral implications of long-held traditions within cont
 emporary society.\n\nFor more information visit http://www.portfolios.
