Thepsakdi’s work is defined by the dynamic relationship between form and figure. His portrayal of the female body is idealised rather than hyper-realistic, drawing inspiration from traditional Thai art. However, his use of bold colours, flowing lines and simplified shapes brings a modern touch to his paintings, infusing them with energy and originality. The nudes in this exhibition explore the limitless potential of artistic expression. Through his unique approach, Thepsakdi transforms imagery that could be seen as provocative into a refined and compelling art form. His pieces reflect a deep commitment to artistic exploration and a continuous pursuit of creative innovation, pushing boundaries while maintaining a strong connection to his cultural heritage.

Much like life – which is always shifting and full of surprises – this exhibition is more than a fleeting gleam, it represents the dynamic interplay between light and colour. Colours shift with time, temperature and the environment – never remaining static. Dong Pongsatat captures how natural light affects our perception of colour. From the warm golden tones of morning to the fiery reds of afternoon and the calming blues of twilight, his landscapes reflect the constant transformation of light and shadow. Rather than fixed colours, Pongsatat’s paintings are in a state of perpetual motion – as shifting light and shadow bring his landscapes to life. It’s as if the painting itself is alive – always changing with the time of day. Mar 3-31. Free. First floor, Fashion Gallery, Siam Paragon, 10am onwards

The fourth solo exhibition by Karms delves into the fragments and remnants discovered through exploring our surroundings. It explores spaces with no clear meaning, the gaps between what we must accept and what we yearn for. One focal point is the evolving concept of "freedom." Freedom is a complex idea, one that prompts reflection on its true nature and its connection to identity. Over time, we come to understand that it’s not just about control over our environment, but also the influence the world has on us. When considering ownership and control, we are left wondering: Is this sense of power genuine, or is our existence merely shaped by external forces? This exhibition doesn’t offer answers, instead evoking a quiet, unsettling scream, questioning the forces at play between art and reality. Until Apr 20. Free. Trendy Gallery, second floor, River City Bangkok, 10am-7pm
