Museum Pier

A rare chance to see early sculptures by Professor Silpa Bhirasri arrives with The Spirit of Sculptors, which brings together works he created in Italy before moving to Thailand. Most come from private collections and have never been shown to Thai audiences, making offering a useful look at the artist’s early years. His work appears alongside sculptures by master artist Vachara Prayoonkum and younger artist Wayuphat Rattanaphet, whose practices draw from Thai art traditions. Across three generations, the exhibition traces how Silpa’s influence continues to shape Thai sculpture. September 8-October 23. B250 for adults and B150 for students. Museum Pier. 10am-6pm

Thai sculpture becomes a three-generation conversation in The Spirit of Sculptors: A Dialogue Across Three Generations at Museum Pier. Created with the Silpa Bhirasri Art Research Institute, the exhibition traces the field’s development through Professor Silpa Bhirasri, master artist Watchara Prayoonkum and contemporary sculptor Wayuphat Rattanaphet. Its rarest works date from Silpa’s years in Italy, before he moved to Thailand, and come from private collections. Most are being shown publicly in Thailand for the first time. New pieces by Watchara and Wayuphat respond to his ideas in their own ways. September 8-October 23. B150-B250 at the door. Museum Pier. 10am-6pm
