Accidental Beauty by Somyot Hananuntasuk at ARTIST+RUN BANGKOK from 30 Nov - 24 Dec, 2019
In each person's life, we go through many different experiences and accumulate a vast amount of information in our own world. These data are both visual and emotional and they are various in details.
During 70 years that I have lived, I have collected experiences and information and I still collect them every day. I took these experiences out, pondering and weighing, to make them my work.
Nowadays, when I worked, I started by smearing on the canvas to make it messy. Then I let the incidents at the time lead me. I followed them and reacted to them by using my experiences and my collective knowledge. They helped me decide the path of that work. Coincidence is in this case an important part in each work.
Sometimes I can explain the process of working like this as: firstly, I have to create problems for myself. Then I have to find a solution for it by bringing the accumulated experiences and knowledge together with my feelings at the time to solve the problems. This is how I take my work to its destination
