"THE FOREST SEASONS"
by Verapat Sitipol (Paintings 2013-2014)
Exhibition will be on view from
September 24 - October 5, 2014

This inaugural solo exhibition at Serindia Gallery ANNEX features Thai artist Verapat Sitipol. Sitipol's last exhibition was at the National Gallery, Bangkok, and since 2010 he has been working in his studio in Kanchanaburi. THE FOREST SEASONS is debut of his latest works. In the realm of abstract works, he is amongst Thailand's finest painters of this genre.

"How time determines the changing lines and colors of nature is what inspired me to create this new series of oil paintings called The Forest Seasons. For the past few years, I have largely isolated myself in a studio near the forests of Kanchanaburi province where I let myself be absorbed by the tropical seasons. The deep green forests of the mountains, the changing colors of their leaves, the solid brown earth, the fogs that span horizontal space and distance — they allow freedom of my brushstrokes and open my eyes to the ever-changing colors. In them I deepen the understanding of abstract beauty and fulfill the aesthetic qualities of these present works." - Verapat Sitipol
