Tang Gallery presents “Youth & Utopia”, an exhibition by China’s Yin Zhao Yang, until February 5.
Yin’s successful 2001 debut, “Myth”, at the Beijing Capital Art Museum familiarised people with his markedly psychological paintings, in which a distinctive “adolescent” aesthetic quality mingles with expressionist influences.
The gallery is in the basement of Silom Galleria. For more information, call (02) 630 1114. -------- ‘Swirling’ into revelation Fasang Nava-aran brings 10 abstract paintings to Bangkok for his fifth solo exhibition, “Swirling, Gusty Wind”, at Gallery 55 from January 20 to February 9. The Nakhon Ratchasima native attended Rajamangala Institute of Technology before he began producing minimalist abstractions from his rural home/studio. The new collection concerns his self-realisation in a not-so-idealistic realm. The gallery, on the second floor of CRC Tower at All Seasons Place, is open daily from 11am to 7pm. For more information, call (02) 685 3877. -------- Satirist wields a sharp brush Not only does Thirayuth Boonmi have a sharp tongue for political and social satire, he’s also a skilled painter.
