Gary Gagliano & Ugo Li : Opening reception//Paintings Exhibition

YenakArt Villa is presenting from the 29th of September to the 7th of November 2016 the exhibition “Timeland”, which is featuring two international artists, both very familiar with Thailand: Gary Gagliano and Ugo Li. Each artist will exhibit a selection of their newest paintings: Ugo Li oil and acrylic on canvas or paper; Gary Gagliano, enamel on canvas. 

The name of the exhibition is coming from of one of Ugo Li’s paintings, inspired by the question he is very often confronted with: “How long have you been in Thailand?”.

All the exhibited artworks have been created in Bangkok, a city where a growing number of International artist are aiming to live and create. It seems that Bangkok is growingly attracting international artists, like Gary and Ugo, becoming little by little the “Berlin of Asia” (Berlin is in Europe the city welcoming the most international artists). 

In addition to the fact that they are living and creating in Bangkok, the two exhibited artists have many common points. Both have a strong preference for vivid, strong colors and they both claim the influence of fashion on their creations. Their way of painting is similar: first, movements are very spontaneous and expressive, guided by their creative instinct; then, everything becomes more precise, delicate, controlled, aiming to harmony.
