Art lovers are invited to reflect on their identity, faith and freedom during "Seeking In The Interstices", which is running at Tang Contemporary Art until Nov 23.
This is a solo exhibition by Tos Suntos, a Thai artist whose question -- "how might one navigate the structures of faith and society without being confined by them?" -- is the central aesthetic and philosophical pursuit of his practice. Much of his work is driven by this pursuit.
He presents Enimous, a symbolic alter ego that embodies his negotiation with these tensions. Enimous appears trapped within rigid architectural frames or distorted by geometric grids, visible yet obstructed, as if caught behind transparent walls.
The artist describes this state as being "imprisoned within the system of faith". The phrase extends beyond religion to include the norms, values and languages that society internalises in us.
In his writings, he asks: "Can we have faith without being stuck or buried in it? Can we have our own identity without merging with the one that is defined by society?" In some of his works, Enimous is elongated, repeated or twisted, producing a visual instability that resonates with the identity anxieties of contemporary life.
Visually, Tos has developed a distinctive language. He weaves together traditional Thai motifs, mythological figures and symbols from popular culture, merging them into compositions that feel both familiar yet new and estranged.
Rather than denouncing adaptation or imitation, he presents them with quiet clarity, acknowledging their underlying existence in daily life. The exhibition does not claim to offer solutions for freedom. Instead, it creates a space of reflection through its visual propositions.
Tang Contemporary Art is located at Room 201-206, River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, and opens Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 7pm.
