How did you first come throughout the artist?
I first met Jitti again in 2019 in a Resort Artwork Truthful in Bangkok. He was exhibiting a variety of works from canvas, to illustrated skateboards and small robotic toys. What drew me to the works was not solely the light-heartedness and optimistic vitality of the character, but in addition the truth that his artwork was direct and appealed spontaneously to each the thoughts and the guts. I suppose that struck me instantly as a novice artwork collector and at that time, it spurred me to gather and extra importantly, begin working collectively on showcasing his works to a wider viewers. It comes as no shock that my first ever paintings buy was from Jitti in his artwork studio a few days later.

What sparked this collaboration between 333 Gallery and All About Artwork?

What was the principle thought behind the exhibition them  “Life In Area”
The scriptures of life or “Tao Te Ching”, as soon as educate us “Form clay right into a vessel, however it’s the vacancy inside that holds rice and fish.” Jitti needed to discover the idea of Exterior Cosmos – Inside Cosmos. In his phrases, “We’re enveloped by the expansive exterior world, an unlimited expanse on our planet that may be perceived by sight and sound, sending sensations to our inside cosmos (the thoughts), the place they’re saved based on the passage of time. What does the receptacle for these feelings resemble? Maybe it’s a sq. container that, when stuffed to capability, releases its contents, abandoning some residue that represents deep-rooted reminiscences.” We interact in actions that possess tangible types, but it’s the intangible that we really make the most of. Thus, the tales, experiences, and feelings layered upon each other inside numerous containers could maintain some worth as we proceed our journey by life. Nonetheless, it’s equally important to acknowledge that, finally, life could be nothing greater than an empty container. When time involves a halt, it could possibly be enlightening to reassess the importance of our existence throughout the exterior cosmos and the interior cosmos (the thoughts).
