In the "I Wonder, A Wonderland" exhibition, Prang Vejjajiva, daughter of former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, shares the dreams, aspirations and experiences she had while travelling abroad. This is the first solo show by Prang, who holds a degree in fine art from Chulalongkorn University. She uses surreal and fantasy imagery to express her love of peace and freedom from burdens and bonds. She represents herself in each canvas as a cute, chubby cat _ an indication, perhaps, that she values characteristics often associated with felines such as independence and a solitary nature.

"Life And Season" by Tanupon En-on examines the relationship between man and nature. It occurs both physically in our surroundings and also in the mind and spirit. Humans learn to adopt and adapt to the laws of nature. There is love, respect, faith and the belief that makes humans live in harmony with nature. Tanupon's paintings are rich in Isan wisdom. Employing acrylic and charcoal on canvas, his works are inspired by Isan motifs and mural paintings, combining the use of colours and simple forms as his signature.

The gallery presents "Trans-structurity", a new project by Thasnai Sethaseree, an emerging artist who was educated in Chicago. The show reflects the concept of fear through sculptures, installations, 2D images and light-box pieces. By blurring the boundaries between disciplines, the ephemeral nature of this project makes visible the impurity of fear, and turns it into a temporary moment that can be continually changed. The crucial questions this project raises are centred around the politics of fear and suppression in relation to risks represented and misrepresented by institutional agencies, to our understanding of how realistic the politically fearful climate of paranoia and distrust is.
