An Artistic Journey through French Creativity, Elegance, and Mezzotint Mastery
BANGKOK (January 15, 2025) – Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit is proud to announce the exclusive launch of "Mario Avati: Peaceful Beauty" – a captivating art exhibition showcasing the original works of renowned French artist Mario Avati, alongside the wine tasting event, "Private Tasting: A Journey to France." The tasting experience offers a curated exploration of French culinary heritage, with the spotlight on Mario Avati's extraordinary body of work, inviting guests into his serene and evocative artistic universe.
This exhibition unveils a collection of Mario Avati’s mesmerizing coppers, etchings, letters, drawings, books, and more, showcasing his mastery of mezzotint, a technique he transformed by infusing it with color and emotional depth. Avati’s work is celebrated worldwide, especially in Japan, for its ability to transform ordinary objects into noble subjects through light, shadow, color, and form. His art explores themes of calm, nature, and introspection, creating visual poetry that invites viewers to reflect and experience beauty in its purest form. Each piece offers a journey of silent meditation and philosophical reflection, and we hope it resonates deeply with all who experience it.
Curated by Ambassador Michel Bohbot, a longtime friend of Mario Avati for 45 years, this exhibition is a true tribute to the artist’s legacy. Bohbot, who also documented Avati’s life and work, has personally curated this collection, which includes original pieces entrusted to him by Avati himself. Among the works on display, each piece reflects the deep trust Avati placed in Bohbot to preserve and showcase his extraordinary contributions to the art world.
