Four different echoes
Emerging artists Viriya Chotpanyavisut, Tanatchai Bandasak, Thakol Kao Sa-ad and Jaitip Jaidee display varying approaches and different interests in the exhibition “The Echo of Footsteps” at Nova Contemporary Art continuing through August 6. The show examines how the artist can clearly reveal his identity through thought process and methodology rather than merely style or the physical result itself. Viriya does so through photographs and videos, Tanatchai through video installations, Thakol in abstract paintings and Jaitip in conceptual drawings. Check out the “novacontemporary” Facebook page.
