Art viewers are invited into spaces that exist between perception and memory, movement and calm during "In Between", which is running at Richard Koh Fine Art Bangkok until March 7.
This is a solo exhibition by Kanokpon Somchua, a Nakhon Si Thammarat native whose artistic language is shaped by his connection to the landscapes of southern Thailand. He brings a new body of paintings that reflect on nature, stillness and states of transition.
Rooted in close observation of the natural environment, Kanokpon's practice approaches nature not as a static subject, but as a living presence shaped by rhythm, atmosphere and continual change.
His works explore moments of uncertainty and transition -- spaces where forms appear to surface, dissolve and reconfigure.
This "in-between" condition reflects the threshold between reality and sensation, humanity and nature, and what is remembered and what remains indistinct. The paintings hold a sense of suspension, allowing viewers to encounter nature as something felt as much as seen.
His creative process is guided by attentiveness and responsiveness rather than predetermined outcomes. Images unfold gradually through an intuitive engagement with material, gesture and awareness. Within this process, negative space, rhythm and residual marks play a central role, acting as points of connection between stillness and movement, control and release.
The resulting compositions evoke quiet fluctuation, where calm and vitality co-exist.
Richard Koh Fine Art is on the 9th floor of Peterson Building, Sukhumvit Road, and opens Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm.
