Long committed to introducing Thailand’s top artists both to its guests and art collectors, luxury boutique hotel 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok on Sukhumvit Soi 39 is featuring the works of two award-winning artists in its rotating showcase.

This month, artists Amnaj Wachirasut and Sujin Wattanawongchaitake take centre-stage in the sixth edition of the Art Rotation shows with two contrasting bodies of work.
Primarily painting characters at first, Amnaj now uses landscapes and empty spaces to convey his messages. His paintings take their inspiration from mystery stories, in which he leads viewers to various energies hidden in the artworks.
