The Jim Thompson Art Center proudly presents “Tomyam Pladib” an art exhibition of Thai and Japanese artists exploring the coexistence of the traditional the contemporary. This project will present multi-layered perspectives on this synergy and modern art, as seen and interpreted by Japanese and Thai artists, drawing on their short- and long-term cross-cultural experiences. The exhibition will feature Japanese artists who have visited Bangkok to create and exhibit their work. Some have fallen in love with the city, and continue to live and work here. It will also include Thai artists who have lived and worked in Japan.
