Space Station,2023
How many worlds Are we at JIM Thopmson Art Center
BKK, Thailand
20 July - 29 October 23
The space station represents both a shelter for space travellers and a vehicle between the past and the future. It navigates a world where distance is relative to time and human progress continues further and further from the past each second. It speaks of memories that live on, leaving traces and holding a symbolic connection to be remembered in thoughts and in the ordinary objects passed down from one generation to the next.
While this station serves as a centre of dreams and an ambitious pathway to discover a far-reaching meaning for humanity, simultaneously, it allows us to take pause and look back at where we came from through the vaguely familiar yet foreign shape of an unconventional future world where memories return us to our origin

The ark of Torlarp Larpjaroensook
From his grandmother’s spiritual spaceship to a memory-filled Noah’s ark
The term “collage art” is frequently used to designate two-dimensional works of art, often a montage of photographs, paintings or drawings. For such a reason, Torlarp Larpjaroensook finds it an ill-adapted label when it comes to discussing his practice. However, if you mention to him the phrase “collage sculpture”, he will be more than pleased to talk you through his works, which involve the assemblage of miscellaneous objects and materials into three- dimensional structures.

“I - solated Beings” (installation) at Subhashok The Arts Centre, Bangkok, Thailand
Exhibition Period :17 March – 22 April 2018
The U.S.O., also known as the Unidentified Standing Object, was converted from an old water tank. It is habitable and is able to be transported into new environments to create connections and share its experience in relations to the surrounding. Its identity is defined by the context and environment it is located: it may be referred to as a tent in the middle of the woods; a temporary shelter for a construction site; a sculpture inside an art gallery; or it could simply be an old, abandoned water tank from an apartment, depending on how the viewers place its values.
Naturally, as humans, we all need ‘safety’.
Beyond the skin that envelope and the clothes that wrap us, we build shelter to protect ourselves from danger.
We all have our own world, beliefs and dreams. The outlook of the U.S.O. may seem like a strange object as though it came from another planet, yet at the same time it builds a new experience and connecting its alienated self and the personal space (inside the U.S.O.) with the public space (outside of the U.S.O.).
“We are each other’s aliens”, therefore differences are not the things to be feared of.
AIR BORDER series
This project begins with combination of ideas, firstly the idea that related to climate similarity between countries are located in tropical world zone. Secondly, the idea of new experimenting paint which affected by natural cause.
Artist is just a part of painting process because completion of art relies on uncontrollable natural phenomenon as well. We, as human nature, are all shar- ing the same climate even though reside in different country. The thing such a border line would in fact be illusion, as we are all facing terror of those uncon- trollable natural phenomenon.
Technique: By using whether chart of tropical world zone during storm period as a painting outline then bending steel wired along those lines on the can- vases. The paintings are left outdoor for the Sun, air, rain and other natural phenomenon to oxidize those wires and give a result with new rusty image that effect on the existed colors.
