WHAT
Known for his vibrant, large-scale installations and paintings that explore themes of perception, space and social engagement, this is the respected Thai artist’s (b.1960) second solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation derives inspiration from the rich ambiguity of the word ‘press’ – in this case, the physical act of pushing pigment onto a surface as well as the psychological tension of constrained time and space.

WHY
The works on view capture compressed states with a new dimension: moments pressed between action and stillness, urgency and resistance, where layered meanings emerge like textures beneath the artist’s hand, where dense circular mounds of pigment are applied onto the surface before being forcefully pressed down, creating flattened disks of paint that radiate outward. This process is both playful and deliberate, emphasising the physicality of painting through the act of pressure and compression.
