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
