Warmth | Thanpisit Saenjan

฿ 48,600.00

Warmth

This painting captures the essence of what we call our ‘comfort zone’. Despite its dominant cool tone, you can feel the comfort from the warm colours radiating from the homes outlined by thick brush strokes. The presentation of colours symbolise the world’s cold nature in contrast to the warmth or sincerity found at home.  This is a way for the artist to simply convey their feelings towards their hometown. You can also see the small details that paints the lifestyle they were so used to seeing – enabling us to truly be in tune with the artist’ vivid memory.

Thanpisit Saenjan is an artist who started off as early as primary school — “The teacher saw my skills and signed me up for an art competition,” He tells us. “When people see the talent that you have and recognise the things that you love doing as a talent, it encourages you to continue and do more,” said Thanpisit. Growing up in a local community, he typically uses his work to reflect upon the lifestyle he had during his childhood and early teenage years.

Description

Get to Know the Painting

Outlining his home based on childhood memories reflected upon not only lifestyle, but the attachment and warmth the artist feels towards the place he grew up in. To viewers, it may be a rural home with a simple lifestyle, but to the artist, it reaches personal depth.

The painting depicts the Thai traditional Lan Na Home where the body of the house is normally lifted, creating a ground-floor basement-like space below the house for the occupier to store appliances. This specific feature of the home is what makes this lifestyle the way it is and is a common routine that is practiced among Thai local communities. More tools that are specific to rural homes in Thailand include fishing equipments, hunting nets and woven baskets, which are all placed in the basement in the evening so there’s easy access in the morning for when they leave to work.

Additionally, traditional Lan Na homes also have what they call a ‘Krua Fai’ (ครัวไฟ) or a Thai kitchen, which is a cooking space all provided by natural sources – no electricity. This is represented in the picture, where the artist illustrates brush strokes indicating smoke and cooking clay pots. Painting this subject was one of the prompts given to the artist during his masters degree – he became fascinated by the intelligence and wisdom of the villagers who use natural sources to aid their lifestyle. The artist wanted to make this part of his work in order to add on to the viewers senses, imagining the picture in real life can bring you to the exact location, perhaps even being able to smell what they’re cooking.

Technique

The artist chose to paint on the paper simply with acrylic, explaining that this is what he’s most familiar with and is quite easy for him to control. Most importantly, it’s easy to bring everywhere as it’s compact. Watercolour and oil colours are also familiar to him but due to the smell, he chooses to work with acrylic instead.
