A visit to Bangkok Art And Culture Centre
As an artist, going to an art center or gallery is almost mandatory everytime I visit a new place. I went to Bangkok Art and Culture Centre when we visited Thailand in June 2023.
The first time we visited here didn't have a lot of exhibitions as I assume the world was just recovering from COVID and Thailand just open its borders. This time around, there are a lot of them and the scene is more vibrant.
One of the exhibits had an interactive art where it invites the audience to paint on canvas. I tried it for fun lol. Interactive art is always fun and engaging. :D
There were some fashion exhibits in the lobby and beside the big staircase. They were made by students from a university. :D
The designs are so cool and unique.
I love that a lot of the art exhibited here are contemporary. This one is pretty cool and the details are just amazing. I forgot what these were but I can guess the artist used pen and ink and oil.
This is very alien vibes.
There are exhibits there with old paintings as well. A lot of them were Thailand history.
This one is just really impressive. Back in art school, we also got to try this - sculpting a wood. You start from a big log of wood and just "subtract" it until you get the shape you want. It is extremely hard since you need the proper tools and the wood for it and of course you can't make "mistakes" as you can't just glue them back or make a new wood lol. It needs a lot of patience hence I didn't like the process. :P
The artist just nailed this one!
This one is also another sick sculpture. From the wood, flesh, to drapery... really amazing craftsmanship and concept. I'm an idiot and didn't look at the medium but I can guess this is epoxy which is also a hard medium to work on. :D
I love that this time there are a lot more exhibits than when I last visited. The place is really good for exhibits as it is located in the center, very easily accessible to everyone since they have the big malls beside it, and the architecture of this place is just very contemporary lol.
It was a fun visit.
That definitely looks like a great place to visit! I'm glad you got to return there after the other visit that didn't have as much on display.
Yeah it was worth it! The nice thing there is there's also a coffee shop inside and souvenir shop :D
everything looks awesome but that wood sculpture was so impressive!
I wonder how much time the artist spent on that, I wouldn't have the patience haha

I liked that there was an opportunity to draw something myself.
Yeah haha those type of art really becomes popular to the audience quick lol.
Painting on canvas by audience would really be fun thing. Dresses designed by university students are looking unique and their design is no doubt admirable. I am astonished to see skeleton made with wood. That's interesting.

I visited another museum in Bangkok and the first sculpture we saw near the entrance was hanging plastic baskets, those you can use to store your laundry. I am not sure if this is the same museum near a train station.
This is just across the BTS train station so yeah this might be it. :D
Ah, that's great to know.
So much diversity within a single place. Absolutely love it! And painting canvas in front of the others? Pure fantastic especially for someone as talented as you are 🤗
Haha I only painted a tiny bit of pink paint there 🤣
Talent is talent haha
It seems a lot is different after last year when I was last here. I really miss this place. 10 times come to Bangkok, as always visit this place :D
Yeah a lot livelier than before. Damn, you've been there many times. Bet it was so fun to see different exhibits each visit especially Bangkok has a nice art scene :D
Thanks for sharing your visit, and I hope you continue to explore and enjoy more artistic experiences!
Haven't visit the place for a long time. Many cool exhibits. Inspired to re-visit. Maybe next weekend.
🙂👍
Time for you to visit then! Also River City has some, but in my last visit there wasn't much new ones
Yes, River City, a nice place, always on my radar. 🙂
