Bangkok, 25 MAY – 08 JUNE 2024
Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA) Bangkok is excited to present Part 2 of “Déjà vu: The Last Chapter “, the second instalment in a three-part series featuring the captivating works of celebrated Thai artist Natee Utarit. This exhibition is from 25 May to 08 June 2024 at RKFA Bangkok.
Presented by Som Santoso
Part 2 focuses on intricate embroidery and mixed-media installations incorporating historical artefacts. Created in 2020, these works stem from Utarit’s provocative question: “What if the Lord Buddha had travelled to Europe before the rise of Western civilization?” This hypothetical scenario inspired a series of artistic experiments, crafting narratives and objects that blend imagination with historical speculation.
The featured installations represent a significant aspect of the artist’s “Déjà vu” series. They explore the representation of Buddha not just as a scriptural figure but as an icon woven into the fabric of both Eastern and Western cultures. By fusing various collectible items through both physical and symbolic melting processes, Utarit offers a new narrative on Buddha’s teachings and their potential intersections with Western traditions.
