Etched in Time

There’s a stillness to Jirasak Anujohn’s latest solo exhibition – a quiet that doesn’t demand attention, but earns it. His chosen tool, charcoal, feels less like medium and more like memory, dragging itself across paper to uncover something already there. Known for portraits that trace the soft erosion of time in the elderly, Jirasak now turns his eye downward – from face to hand. These are not just hands. They have sewn, suffered, carried, grieved. Each line seems earned. In brownish blacks and dusty greys, fingers bend like the pages of a long-read book, worn but intact. The show doesn’t chase sentimentality, nor does it moralise. It simply observes. And in doing so, offers a gentle resistance to a culture obsessed with youth, speed and erasure. Nothing loud. Just what’s left, when everything else has gone. May 16-Jun 30. Free. Ground Bangkok, 10am-7pm
