Things are something that everyone meets in everyday life. Important to life that is different. Some things are being recycled. Some things are stored or may be thrown away over a lifetime. This exhibition focuses on expired objects or materials. To tell 'The existence of things' in the artist's perspective.

Mr. Watcharapong brought up sacred objects and offerings to give meaning through art. By Imitationalism Theory and placement of symbols to compare and reflect the existence of "Offering" in the true sense of the object.

And Mr. Akaraphon has taken the image of the environment. The aspects and objects left in the house from the various owners who once lived, are visual representations of meaning to illustrate the connected family relationships and thoughts caused by changing the condition of household life.

Watcharapong Khunart

The work in the “sell and inwardness” are oil paintings that contain objects and various materials.

Both in nature and things that are created such as animal skulls, fruits, flowers become as still-life models in paintings. The objects and materials that are selected were used as offerings and the remnants of rituals. Define the word shell and inwardness by moulding with the paper mache technique, direct coloring on the material and knitting the rope to wrap. Techniques are used as media for creating sacred objects.

In the context of beliefs about sacred objects and offerings are also important to the objects and materials in the faith, the truth of what appears and the assumption of belief.

My work is focused on expressions through painting to help explain words with understanding and use realistic art form. Presenting still-life by using “Imitationalism Theory” and placing symbols to compare
and reflect the existence of the offerings, giving the true meaning of the object. Communicate honestly by which my creative works hope to be able to convey the knowledge and understanding from the belief in Thai Society to the general public.

The creation of my art work "Objects representing the changing situations of the Thai family" come from my experience in my family which has generation to generation. From the feeling of doubt in these objects, which lead me to study and observe the function value and the importance of these objects.

Therefore, I interviewed my relative and I saw the contexts which.
