People’s Choice Prize Winner Announced

The winner of the People’s Choice Prize has already been announced. This is an award that decided by the viewing public who visit the Portrait Prize exhibition. The painting which received the most votes and won the People’s Choice Prize with prize money of THB 100,000 is Work From Home by Navapon Huanchaiyaphum. He describes this painting as

“In the current situation, the number of deaths and infected people of Covid-19 has increased. Many countries around the world are facing problems from this epidemic as well. However, it is unlikely that the situation will improve, thus the government and corporate sectors are asking for people’s help in avoiding travel and working from home as much as possible in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Work From Home has become an option that makes us safe from COVID-19.  Through oil linen painting, I was motivated to create a portrait of my family members which are my joy: my wife “Kik” and two sisters of my wife  “Grace” and “Game” to document this current situation.”

It can be said that a portrait is a mirror that reflects the society. It is a medium for artists and art-lovers to express their creativity and emotions into the canvas and interact with others even during the time that we have to adapt into new normal life.

River City Bangkok would like to thank everyone for submitting your portrait to this competition as well as visiting the exhibition.
