The mixed media artwork by Kamol Tassananchalee, a National Artist of Thailand known for his influence both locally and internationally.
This piece embodies Kamol’s signature style, combining mixed media techniques, Sa paper, and symbolic elements. A striking feature is the red paint tube, which appears to be a sketch or blueprint for a three-dimensional sculpture or installation art. The annotations specifying materials such as Brass, Copper, Steel, Fiberglass Resin, and Wood suggest a conceptual framework for a physical structure.
The “paint tube” is a recurring symbol in Kamol’s work. He is renowned for his large-scale paint tube sculptures, crafted from fiberglass and metal, representing the energy of creativity and the role of the artist. This series has gained international recognition and remains one of his most iconic themes.
“Drawing on Bleached Sa Paper” is not just a two-dimensional work but a glimpse into the artist’s thought process and creative evolution, reflecting an important phase in Kamol Tassananchalee’s artistic journey.
