ART TRIP

As grade 12 IB art students, we took a trip to look at a small art gallery called "PongNoi Art Space".
              
The gallery is based on photography on the basic Chiang Mai culture. From the pictures, it seems like the artist "Tirawat Saengphueng" is trying to represent Childhood. There were a series of pictures where 83 little images are lined up into a shape of a rectangle, showing children playing on streets and having fun or showing some cultural images of an elphant representing Lanna Style and Culture. The artist used some repetition in his photography and enlarged some of the same images into bigger artworks.
