Nattan Kongmalikankaew’s solo show leads viewers through a spiritual terrain where the outside world and the inner mind meet, blurring the line between what is real and what is imagined. The paintings linger on that uneasy feeling of meeting the unfamiliar, the kind of uncertainty most of us would rather ignore. Part of what makes this exhibition so striking is how far his work has travelled. Earlier pieces from 2020 to 2021 focused on the human body caught in states of pressure and private struggle. Now nature takes centre stage, not as scenery but as a character with its own motives. These environments hold memory and identity in their folds, becoming mirrors for forces we can sense but never fully name.
