Somewhere Only We Know
River City Bangkok proudly presents the exhibition “Somewhere Only We Know”. This solo exhibition marks the debut of the highly talented artist, ‘Hongtae’ Konthorn Taecholarn, also known as “Art of Hongtae”. With extraordinary artistic prowess, Hongtae invites viewers on a voyage into a realm that is part reality, part dream, part joy, and part sorrow – the enigmatic world of the ‘Cloud Heads’ characters born from the depths of his heart.
“The Cloud Heads” are beings with heads made of cloud tufts. They never real their faces because they don’t want anyone to see, and they have clouds shrouding their expressions to keep their feelings hidden. The Cloud Heads drift freely with the wind, aimless, untethered, and directionless, akin to tiny jellyfishes dancing on the sweet-colored clouds at the sea of sweetness.
So, If someone were to ask, “Are the Cloud Heads lonely?” Oh, loneliness indeed! Everyone experiences loneliness at some point. Loneliness emerges in moments devoid of love, yet it can also flourish in the midst of love. Loneliness may find itself in the bustling secondhand market where people haggle, or it may linger silently on quiet rooftops just as the sun slips away beneath the sky.
Let’s meet up in “Somewhere Only We Know”, a bittersweet universe that aims to evoke unique and intimately personal emotions, known only to those who witness it.
