Recognised for his print artwork inspired by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, artist Kraisak Chirachaisakul felt lost after the passing of the monarch. However, despite feeling empty inside for two years, the artist became enthusiastic about creating art again when he met a Russian model, Anastasia Maslova, at an art gallery. Maslova became his muse for the 2020 exhibition Venus Resurrection at River City Bangkok and also his latest printmaking exhibition Friends at Kalwit Gallery. Friends displays 12 drypoint printmaking artworks and one oil painting inspired by Maslova and her friend Eve Parker.
