Art viewers are invited to contemplate the complexities of our existence during "The Container", which is running at Richard Koh Fine Art until Aug 24.
This is a solo exhibition by installation artist and printmaker Temjai Cholsiri that delves into the intricate relationship between the mind and the body through a captivating blend of installation art, painting and sculpture.
Celebrated for her profound conceptual works, Temjai explores the body's role as a vessel for the mind. She utilises mainly construction materials to craft forms that symbolise the robust shell of the body.
These materials, often associated with strength and structure, provide a stark contrast to the ethereal nature of the mind. Yet, they also serve to anchor the mind, grounding it in the physical world.
Complementing these structures are fragile, intangible forms that embody the abstract state of the mind. These elements, while seemingly ephemeral, are integral to the installations, reflecting the substantial impact of our thoughts and consciousness on our existence.
The intricate arrangement of these contrasting elements across the exhibition space speaks to the delicate equilibrium that exists between the mind and the body, a balance that is constantly negotiated as the two components rely on each other for support and existence.
Through this exploration of the interplay between the physical and the abstract, viewers are encouraged to consider the fundamental human experience of being a mind within a body.
Richard Koh Fine Art is on the 9th floor of Peterson Building, Sukhumvit Road, and opens Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm.
