“We are allowed to be free to imagining, aren’t we?”

It is an open-ended question of Thanarit Thipwaree, an artist who has experienced his life and thoughts in a purpose of seeking the answer of the above question which refers to human identity through his artworks. Additionally, “The Opera of Metafiction” is his third solo exhibition cooperating with Number1Gallery. This time the artist himself has emphasized on the perspectives and creativity ideas even though Elbert Einstein had once said that “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Yet knowledge is an origination or the basis of imagination as well. According to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, also described about it that every dream has come from subconscious mind where it accumulates and recomposes several stories based on the reality which is the sources. Moreover Plato, ancient Greek philosopher mentioned about “World of form”, which god or nature is the creator of all things “. Conclusively an imagination has come from knowledge as well as dream origination has come from the reality. Besides, World of form is a destination of imitation along with an imagination and inventiveness when creativity theory becomes commitment.
