“LONGEVITY: An Abstract Conversation”, curated by Kit Bencharongkul. Featuring 11 female artists—Aimi Kaiya, Baisri, BeCHANIDA, Chayanich Muangthai (Seafear), Duenchayphoochana Phooprasert, Jiratchaya Pripwai, Ketkarn Damrongwattanapokin, MM. Kosum, Morakot Ketklao, Rungploy Lorpaitoon, and Sudaporn Teja—the exhibition explores diverse interpretations of longevity.
The phrase “Ars longa, vita brevis”—art is long, life is short—underscores the exhibition’s essence: the enduring power of art to transcend time. In Thai culture, longevity is more than lifespan—it is deeply tied to well-being, balance, and meaningful living. Greetings like “wishing you happiness and good health” reflect this cultural value. A long life alone does not ensure happiness; physical, emotional, and spiritual health are equally vital.
Color plays a key role in representing life’s journey—each hue and brushstroke capturing emotions, transitions, and memory. Thai art and design, from temple murals to silk textiles, express this through vibrant and serene palettes, mirroring the nation’s spirit and harmony. Ultimately, this exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of life not only in its length, but in its depth, vitality, and creative expression.
