Artist ‘stars’ in her own thriller films
Anchalee Arayapongpanich will be presenting bold and fanciful paintings inspired by scary movies in the exhibition “Thriller & Horror” at the Ardel Gallery of Modern Art on Boromrachachonnanee Road from May 18 to June 25.
The self-portraits have Anchalee adopting the characters seen in her favourite Hollywood blockbusters as she seeks out new approaches to spice up mundane routines. She’s taken over the roles in the movies just to get away from the regularity of her daily life, the gallery says in a press release.
“Impersonating those characters brought her excitement, adventures, life-risking missions and journeys that ordinary people would never have a chance to experience. With her skilful hand, the extraordinary lines and unique brushstrokes were drawn out to create a new dimension full of imagination.”
The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10.30 to 7 and Sundays until 5.30. Find out more at (02) 422 2092 and the “ArdelGalleryof ModernArt” Facebook page.
