Bangkok Post – Intangible states of being await at ‘Unseen’

Engage with the subtle interplay between perception and introspection during “Unseen”, which is running at Richard Koh Fine Art until May 30.

This is the second time Pik Chaichit, a recent graduate from Silpakorn University’s Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, exhibits at the gallery. He brings the latest series of oil paintings that explore constructed scenarios shaped by both conceptual inquiry and emotional perception.

Within these compositions, he assembles fragments of relationships between human figures, animals and everyday objects. These elements co-exist within carefully staged environments, where each painting presents a distinct situation rendered with clarity and precision. Beyond their apparent narratives, the works are anchored by intangible states of being. These states — ranging across familiarity and estrangement — operate alongside the depicted scenes, forming an inseparable layer that resists direct interpretation.

Pik’s practice centres on the tension between what is visible and what remains obscured, examining how space, time and presence can co-exist within a single pictorial field.

Rather than offering fixed meanings, this exhibition invites a sustained encounter with ambiguity. The paintings do not seek immediate resolution; instead, they foreground the quiet persistence of emotions and conditions that evade articulation.

Richard Koh Fine Art is located on the 9th floor of Peterson Building, Sukhumvit Road and opens Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm.
