Obsessions : Art by Arnuparp Sukkaw
7 February 2020
7 PM - Late

Join us for the next First Friday Exhibition, as we feature a beautiful array of portrait paintings by an artist we admire. Let's get together to share our passion for creativity!

Artist's Biography:

Arnuparp Sukkaw was born in Bangkok, Thailand, developing a diverse portfolio of art in his studios both in the city and away on his island home. His body of work draws inspiration from historical masters in the form of portraiture painting, as well as from an intuitive relationship with the natural environment.
Having been drawn to the artistic process in his school years, Sukkaw found a passion in both the study and process of painting. He developed his academic practice at Thaivichitsilp School of Art, coupling creative and professional passions to pursue a career in advertising and television. His multimedia talents are focalized as a stylist, costumer, props and set designer for a wide array of programs. All of these skillsets ultimately return to his first love of painting, finding expression in the emotive expressions in his portraits.
While his career necessitates a level of social notoriety and community involvement, Sukkaw routinely finds himself drawn back to his island home between the completion and start of a new project. The natural environment as received through quiet reflection gives the respite required to renew and create again. It is this relationship with the outside world, through sight, sound and touch, which becomes palpable in the final, quiet presentation of his art.
