Tong Napat Kaewmanee’s latest exhibition emerges from the hush of a bedroom long ago, where his mother once sang lullabies laced with death and demons. Sweet on the surface, these bedtime songs hid spectral warnings – folklore masquerading as comfort. Years later, after a stint in art school and the usual rites of urban teenage chaos, Napat returned home to find those eerie refrains still echoing. They weren’t just tunes – they were teachings, temperaments, even entire cosmologies handed down in whispers before sleep. Here, memory isn't nostalgia. It’s a murky blend of maternal warmth, family hierarchy, bruised affection and ghost stories like Sang Thong and the Krasue. His canvases reflect this: furious brushwork, lurid colour, stories retold not for clarity but for catharsis. Childhood, after all, was never all hat innocent. Until Jun 24. Free.
