Art lovers in Thailand are invited to witness outstanding works by a prominent pop artist from China during Ecstasy: Li Bangyao Solo Exhibition , which will take place at Tang Contemporary Art from tomorrow to March 13.
A professor of fine arts at South China Normal University in Guangzhou, Li Bangyao is reputed for his symbolic study of objects in his artworks where he focuses on their structural systems.
Through the refinement of specific symbols for social development and everyday life, he deconstructs and encodes the personal aesthetics, collective memories and social issues symbolised by objects in a visual language characterised by flat forms and clear outlines.

The revival of Charoen Krung Road, Bangkokâs oldest street, continues apace with the recent opening of a community space that pays tribute to the neighborhoodâs enduring legacy. Called
Central: The Original Store, it occupies the first piece of commercial real estate ever owned by father and son Tiang and Samrit Chirathivat, who purchased the shophouse in 1950 and thereby laid the groundwork for what would grow into Thailandâs largest retailer, the Central Group.
Warin Lab Contemporary, a new art space in Bangkok, will open its doors with "Overflow From Trash To Art", a leading-edge curatorial project that focuses on environmental issues, from Jan 23 to March 21.
