Exhibition Concept: from the artist words
“The basic theme of my works is my natural environment. In addition to the classical modes of art expression - oil, canvas - I carry out new aesthetic experiments. Gilded elephant dung, watercolor paintings on recycled waste, oil paintings on oil cans, watercolors on recycled packaging cardboards... all are approaches to the lotus symbol. The purification of things is the search for a new aesthetic experience”, said Franyo.
Brief Biography of the Artist:
Franyo Aatoth is a Parisian artist, settled in Thailand 15 years ago. He lives in the nature near the jungle of Pala-U. Following his installation, and his direct contact with nature his work has been changed a lot. "Nature is the best teacher" as he said. His visual expression based on calligraphy, as he studied Mandarin for several years. Calligraphy and the vegetal touch with his sarcastic humor gave a very special mix. He touches nearly everything. The different materials... oil painting, watercolor a classical use, or recycled materials:
packaging boxes, oil cans, gold leaf, shredded bank notes ... or even elephant poop.
Some Outstanding solo shows:
