NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Mr. Sajja Sajjakul in the exhibition "Sensorial Realities." The event kicks off on July 5, 2017, and runs until July 25, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 6, from 6-8 pm.
Mr. Sajja Sajjakul's paintings delve into the complexities of the 21st-century world. As an "observer and critic," Sajjakul captures the destruction of nature and the erosion of traditional lifestyles, highlighting societal and political injustices, cultural conflicts, and the pressures of modern life. His works juxtapose objects and people from various eras, creating scenes that transcend conventional notions of time. This blend of dreams and cultural memory contends with a dystopian environment, offering a unique perspective on contemporary issues.
Sajja Sajjakul employs oils on canvas, utilizing the medium's rich tones to give his paintings a robust physical presence. His mastery in rendering lifelike figures and manipulating proportion and scale often evokes a sense of threat or uncertainty. This approach transforms standard realism into a uniquely expressive form. "I try to reach beyond the borders—language, religions, or traditions," says Sajjakul, and his paintings indeed achieve this goal. The artist resides and works in Thailand.
Agora Gallery's group exhibition "Sensorial Realities" offers nine distinct journeys into new and challenging worlds. The exhibition features a diverse array of paintings, mixed-media works, ceramics, and sculptures. These pieces explore various themes such as landscape, narrative, abstraction, and portraiture. One artist creates outdoor scenes with thick, unbroken brushstrokes that pulse with the vibrant colors of summer. Another artist crafts intense psychological scenes with isolated figures. A third artist oscillates between sensual realism and abstraction, depending on the perspective.
With thoughtful technical experimentation and flawless execution, "Sensorial Realities" showcases artists operating at their most intelligent and provocative levels.
By exploring the intersection of traditional and modern elements, Sajja Sajjakul's paintings offer a profound commentary on contemporary life, making "Sensorial Realities" a must-see exhibition.
