										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>The Journey of Colors</i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a record of “color” as the central essence in the lifelong painting practice of <strong>Charoon Boonsuan</strong>. The exhibition invites viewers to delve inward—through the gradual transformation of color that reveals the artist’s inner self. From what is seen to what is felt, color flows back outward, freely expressed on canvas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boonsuan begins with ordinary subjects—such as flowers or landscapes—but never aims for realism. These forms are merely starting points, used to evoke a personal state in which color becomes a silent force of emotion, memory, and experience. In his work, color is inseparable from the artist, coexisting with nature and inner sensation—resonating with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">affective perception</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a concept proposed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, which views perception as a bodily experience embedded in the world (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">being-in-the-world</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He discovered that even the tone of a base layer could shift the emotional tone of the entire painting. <strong>A yellow underpainting</strong> makes flowers appear more vivid and enhances the presence of brushstrokes. Thus, his approach to color is not merely technical—it is an emotional language imbued with calm, aligning with Josef Albers’ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interaction of Color</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which proposes that color has no fixed meaning but emerges through context and relationships.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the structured compositions and subdued tones of his early works to the confident embrace of vivid color, Boonsuan’s later paintings reflect a shift—from “painting quickly to leave brush traces” to “painting slowly to be with what appears.” Flowers in his paintings are no longer just living forms—they embody states of serenity, contentment, and an open-hearted view of the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This exhibition does not seek to be “understood,” but rather invites the viewer to pause—with color, with emotion, and with themselves—through the rhythm of the eyes and the heart.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div dir="auto">
<p>Arianna Caroli is well-known for her floral paintings. Her passion for flowers stemmed from her experiences while painting flowers. <em>&#8220;When you are in front of a painting of flowers you just breathe and… relax. There is nothing to interpret, to guess. You unconsciously let your heart open and then something happens inside you.&#8221;</em> said Caroli. Viewers are exposed to the strong healing and energy of the colors in her painting and may even become lost in a web of stems pitils and petals. She considers her paintings to be MANDALAS, meditation artwork that can transport viewers to a state of peace and contentment.</p>
<p>Arianna Caroli&#8217;s paintings are also inspired by the intriguing magical idea of “Juxtaposition” and the concept of “The Perfect Imperfect”; some of her paintings appear incomplete but are completely perfect in their imperfection. &#8220;VITA LONGA EST&#8221; is a recreation of the artist&#8217;s Bangkok living space, complete with her own furniture and works-in-progress. In the conviction that by working together, we can create an exciting Space inside the Space, the artist welcomes guests to her studio to discuss her work or even collaborate on creating art.</p>
<p>The exhibition showcases her flowers paintings, her table installation, the Walking art project, and the Art-Out-Of-Art Project that she worked with PASAYA. Arianna Caroli and Kit Bencharongkul, will be inside the exhibition talking about this exhibition at the opening reception.</p>
