Fahlanna Art Museum

Friendship, like art, evolves over time. FRIENDS brings three artists and longtime friends back together at Fahlanna Art Museum, tracing a connection that began at the College of Fine Arts and has endured as their lives and creative practices have taken different paths. Featuring Vatcharin Bhumichitr, Sakchira Wiengkao and Supachet Bhumakarn, the exhibition explores how individual experiences shape the way each artist sees and interprets the world. Bhumichitr draws on more than 25 years of travelling and living abroad, exploring the dualities of nature, from its beauty to its more unpredictable and powerful forces. Wiengkao looks to the cultural heritage of Hmong, Akha and Karen communities in Phrae, reworking traditional weaving, embroidery and dyeing techniques into contemporary textile art. Meanwhile, Bhumakarn takes the elephant as his starting point, using line, colour and space to explore balance, adaptation and change. More than simply a reunion, FRIENDS offers a look at how friendship, shared beginnings and individual journeys can continue to connect people over time. November 14-December 15. Fahlanna Art Museum. Wiang Kaew Road, Si Phum. Opening reception November 14, 4-7pm. Thursday-Tuesday, 10am-7pm
