Dancing in the Light

In a world spinning too fast to catch its own breath, Niam Mawornkanong’s work offers a pause – a deliberate slowing down, a moment to listen. His paintings don’t just depict life; they hold it in a fragile balance, dense with feeling and fragmented perception. There’s an insistence on looking beneath the surface, peeling back layers of noise to reveal something quietly true. Among the pieces, the White Dust series stands out – an elegy for a time when images felt less manufactured, less perfect. It wrestles with the slick, hyperreal world of digital snapshots, searching instead for the softness found in faded memories and forgotten moments. In Niam’s brushstrokes, the past isn’t just nostalgia – it’s a haunting, beautiful blur we’re only just beginning to understand. Until Jun 22. Free. Joyman Gallery, 11am-6pm
