Inform us extra in regards to the artist and his distinctive model of labor.

He’s most affectionately recognized for his character “Jittirobot” which as its title suggests, is the robotic protagonist that brings us by way of his tales and voyages. What attracts collectors and galleries alike is the constructive vibes and cheerful demeanor wherein the works are depicted, creating considerably ironic but heartwarming episodes of a robotic displaying or encountering feelings — and reminding its viewers on the heat and hope this world possesses.
How did you first come throughout the artist?
I first met Jitti again in 2019 in a Lodge Artwork Honest in Bangkok. He was exhibiting a variety of works from canvas, to illustrated skateboards and small robotic toys. What drew me to the works was not solely the light-heartedness and constructive power of the character, but in addition the truth that his artwork was direct and appealed spontaneously to each the thoughts and the guts. I suppose that struck me instantly as a novice artwork collector and at that time, it spurred me to gather and extra importantly, begin working collectively on showcasing his works to a wider viewers. It comes as no shock that my first ever paintings buy was from Jitti in his artwork studio a few days later.
What sparked this collaboration between 333 Gallery and All About Artwork?
“This exhibition has been a very long time coming, and in some sense I really feel like all issues have come full circle (albeit a smaller one) for my artwork journey thus far,” stated Jitti. We represented Jitti and his works in Singapore for a short while previous to him signing with probably the most outstanding Thai gallery 333 Gallery. The place most gallerists would concur that is most frequently a signaling of the “finish of a relationship”, a lot quite the opposite, it was the beginning of a really profitable partnership and now relationship between all 3 events. Jitti was rising in stature regionally in Thailand by way of 333 Gallery, and when it was time to think about his abroad exhibition — he solely needed to work with us. We work very carefully with the house owners Khun Land and Khun Nan about leveraging on our assets to make this present a powerful success.
What was the principle concept behind the exhibition them “Life In House”
The scriptures of life or “Tao Te Ching”, as soon as educate us “Form clay right into a vessel, however it’s the vacancy inside that holds rice and fish.” Jitti needed to discover the idea of Exterior Cosmos – Inner Cosmos. In his phrases, “We’re enveloped by the expansive exterior world, an unlimited expanse on our planet that may be perceived by way of sight and sound, sending sensations to our internal cosmos (the thoughts), the place they’re saved in response to the passage of time. What does the receptacle for these feelings resemble? Maybe it’s a sq. container that, when crammed to capability, releases its contents, abandoning some residue that represents deep-rooted recollections.” We interact in actions that possess tangible types, but it’s the intangible that we really make the most of. Thus, the tales, experiences, and feelings layered upon each other inside numerous containers might maintain some worth as we proceed our journey by way of life. Nonetheless, it’s equally important to acknowledge that, in the end, life is likely to be nothing greater than an empty container. When time involves a halt, it might be enlightening to reassess the importance of our existence throughout the exterior cosmos and the inner cosmos (the thoughts).
