About the artwork
In Pool (2012), a man and a woman rest at the edge of a pool, backs to the viewer. It resembles the casual domestic vignettes of Alex Katz. The couple stares at a wall of leafy plants, above which, magically or allegorically, float portraits and a small segment of landscape with a cloudy sky. Here, Kachacheewa seems to channel René Magritte—particularly in the earlier painter’s interest in clouds, his trick lighting, and his ability to make the everyday phenomenal and mysterious.
About the artist
An artist of Thai heritage, the Eastern elements to Kachacheewa works are intricate and woven seamlessly into his diverse styles that bridge pastel hues, Pop vivacity, Impressionist forests and figures hewn with grace that echo nude Classicism. What may describe a number of artists from various disciplines is remarkably what defines the work of just one man. Blending together distinct elements of Western and Eastern art, the artist creates visions of conceptual fluidity that ebb and flow with consciousness, dissipating and reuniting in unison with the compartmentalized visuals that constitute it. A jack of all trades and master of aesthetics - these are the works of Kanakorn Kachacheewa
