Pannaphan Yodmanee
Dance in the Lotus Pond

2023

About the Item

Pannaphan Yodmanee Dance in the Lotus Pond Acrylic on cement 90 x 130 cm 31.5 x 47.2 in. 2023 Pannaphan Yodmanee is a young Thai artist, born in 1988 in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand. Her first art lesson took place at Wat Ka Pied temple. She studied traditional Thai art, as well as painting and restoring the walls of this Buddhist temple. Her talent developed until she was accepted at the Silpakorn Art University in Bangkok. There she discovered installation, performance and film, and opened up to the multiple creative possibilities offered by contemporary art. The artist learned to combine her influences and experiences to develop a spellbinding art form, combining found objects, natural elements such as rocks and minerals, and painted elements. She fashions a unique aesthetic at the junction between East and West, creating work that transcends conventional artistic boundaries to offer a richly nuanced visual and emotional experience. Combining traditional Thai art objects with contemporary elements, as well as drawings and sculptures, she creates artistic spaces that recall a spiritual world beyond a specific religion. Based in Bangkok, Yodmanee began exhibiting in the mid-2000s. In 2015, her work was featured in the Thailand Eye exhibition at London's Saatchi Gallery, then at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. In 2016, at the Singapore Biennale, she won the prestigious Benesse Prize, and Akiko Miki, president of the jury, said: "Her pictorial, sculptural and architectural work creates a unique and breathtaking landscape by blending microscopic and macroscopic visions with Buddhist cosmology, traditional and modern techniques, and natural and man-made materials. We look forward to seeing how her critical sensibility might bring profound insights into human civilization, natural conditions and spirituality to our time [...]". At the time, she was presenting her work Aftermath, an installation in the image of a field of architectural ruins. In 2018, she took part in the Bangkok Biennale with her installation The Last Day. This monumental assemblage of stones and minerals, arranged in concentric circles, creates a complex, hypnotic pattern that evokes the end of the world and its regeneration. In 2019, his Quarterly Myth installation will be the star attraction at the Lyon Biennale. This invitation to meditate on time, memory and the survival of myths takes the form of two large gray concrete cylinders. Inside these imposing perpendicular structures, the artist has created frescoes and bas-reliefs, drawing inspiration from both Buddhist and Christian art. Each time, the artist's work is enthusiastically received by critics and the public alike. Her unique aesthetic has brought her international recognition, and her work is now included in public and private collections around the world. These include the collections of the Singapore Art Museum, the Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane (Australia), the Yuz Museum in Shanghai (China) and the Beness Art Site in Naoshima (Japan). For her first exhibition at Galerie Sarto, Pannaphan Yodmanee is developing a new aspect of her work, following in the footsteps of the fresco she created for the vaulted ceiling of the Soho House Bangkok atrium. Her canvases combine various techniques: linen, wood, cement... The artist paints, engraves, glues and depicts female bodies with a mythological allure. She takes up classic themes from Western art history: the Three Graces, Adam and Eve, the Flood... while blending them with Buddhist references. She breaks down bodies, fragmenting and reconstructing them in a delicate yet powerful harmony.

    Located in PARIS, FR
    François Benoit Lison (1968 - ) "Unwrapped" Acrylic and lacquer on canvas 100 x 81 cm 2022 Born in Granville, France, on April 14, 1968, François Benoît-Lison began with a figurative approach, which gradually evolved into abstraction, first lyrical, then more contrasting, where black reigns supreme. Black is a sacred color, sometimes dark, sometimes dazzling, without limits, it can be dominant or gentle. After acrylics and oils, bituminous pastes and inks opened another door, that of the abstract, much more profound and contemporary, with the possibility of working these materials in many aspects and forms. Since the 1980s, the artist has been offering us works imbued with research, reflection and philosophy, charged with a strong, raw message, highlighting his thoughts and leaving an indelible imprint. Abstraction is his adventure, his freedom, his struggle, his dreams, his rage, his solitude. Works by Jackson Pollock, Caravaggio, Egon Schiele, Pierre Soulages and André Marfaing...
