Seasoned artist Thaiwijit Puengkasemsomboon has long been recognised for abstract expressionism, both as a painter and a sculptor, making his work all the more alluring when he decides to raise awareness as he has done in his latest exhibition One Generation Plants The Trees, Another Gets The Shade .
The show, running at Warin Lab Contemporary Gallery from today until Sept 15, presents a hypothesis of the root cause of the air pollution issue, brought on by forest fires, in northern Thailand.
He showcases these predicaments via artistic expressions that originate from personal experiences of residing in areas most impacted by poor air quality and the health hazards that accompany it.

The issue of air pollution in the northern part of Thailand is highlighted through art in One Generation Plants The Trees, Another Gets The Shade , which will kick off tomorrow and run until Sept 15 at Warin Lab Contemporary.
Tree Of Life.
On exhibit will be paintings, sculptures and installation art by Thaiwijit Puengkasemsomboon, a Chiang Mai-based artist who has earned a reputation for his abstract expressionism with outstanding compositions and colour applications.
Besides his remarkable abstract paintings whose distinctive rhythms of colours, lines, shapes and compositions have created spontaneity, aesthetics and freedom of expression, the artist incorporates his interest in scrap materials and repurposes them, giving a new meaning to these materials in his art creation.
