Niran Choonhachat will display his black-and-white photographs in “Intrigue” at Gallery F-Stop from March 1 to 29.

His works focus on the landscape and innate beauty of the female physique. His images, playing with light and shadow, go beyond the portrait to explore the mysterious shapes and curvature of his subjects. The photographer conceals a little something in each photograph, leaving the ultimate interpretation up to the viewers’ imagination.

The gallery is at Tamarind Cafe on Sukhumvit Soi 20 and is open weekdays from 3pm to midnight and weekends from 10am to midnight.

The brightest from Burma

Thavibu Gallery is presenting “Spirit of Burma” with three Burmese artists Aung Kyaw Htet, Aung Kyaw Tun and Myint Swe until March 12.

Kyaw Tun’s collection shows the Nat spirits, often referred to as a pre-Buddhist cult. The Nats constitute 37 characters who are worshipped in shrines all over the country.

The gallery, on the third floor of Silom Galleria, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm and on Sunday from noon to 6pm.
