ALLERGIC REALITIES
AN EXHIBITION BY KOSIT JUNTARATIP
BANGKOK UNIVERSITY GALLERY
SEPT 18 – OCT 29, 2016
Kosit Juntaratip, an established Thai artist, is known for his performance work developed during the 1990s such as Lily Ovary (1994), HAPPY BIRTHDAY (1994), Skin Community – Where there is love there is suffering (2010) etc. Paintings in this series, Allergic Realities (2015-2016), are initiated from the artist’s interests in documentary photography and their influences on the public. The artist conducted research and found out that behind those images, there were immeasurable errors.
That is the artist’s reason for questioning the reality and the ideas behind them. The artist reproduces these images through paintings by using layers of stencil papers to search for new meanings.
