Traditional Japanese art on show
Midnice Gallery brings Japan to Bangkok with an exhibition of traditional Japanese paintings and crafts that runs through September 16.
The paintings come from the brushes of three artists: Shirofumi Takehara, a professor at Osaka University and art teachers Kimimochi Tauchi and Rei Hayase. All three are Sago-Kai associate members.
By using natural mineral pigments, rock and shells, the drawing techniques take the viewer back 1,500 years. The exhibition also features glass sculptures by Yuki Uchimura and textile art by Keiko Takegaki. Guests are invited to attend a workshop led by Tauchi and Hayase this Saturday (August 26) where they will learn how to use colour and draw with traditional Japanese techniques on Japanese summer fans. The workshop gets underway at 1pm. Admission is Bt1,000. Reservations are being accepted at [email protected] until Wednesday (August 23)
Midnice gallery is on the first floor of Diamond Apartment Building on Chokchai 4, Soi 18, Lat Phrao Road. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday. For more information, visit www.midnicegallery.com or call (086) 282 0282.
