MOCA BANGKOK invites you to
“The Waterfall Journey Mirrors Human Life”
a solo exhibition by Atjima Jaroenchit.
For centuries, waterfalls have appeared in paintings as more than part of a landscape. Religious and cultural traditions have associated them with virtue, spiritual power, and the natural order. In certain Japanese religious traditions, waterfalls are considered sacred, with water descending continuously as though moving between heaven and earth. A waterfall is also never still. Its form changes from one moment to the next as water falls, strikes rocks, breaks apart, gathers, and continues along a new path.
The works are created through Atjima’s distinctive process of pouring liquid oil paint directly onto a surface without using a brush. She guides the paint by tilting and moving the surface, working with gravity, the rhythm of each pour, and the physical conditions of the materials. The paint flows, gathers, separates, and changes direction as the work develops. This process brings control and uncertainty into the same act of creation, reflecting how life is shaped by both personal decisions and circumstances beyond individual control.
🎊 Opening : 4 July, 2026 ( 14:30 onwards)
🗓 5 – 30 July, 2026
📍 Temporary Exhibition 1 and 2, G Floor, MOCA BANGKOK
