Udomsak Krisanamis

Press release

Toi et moi is Udomsak Krisanamis' first solo exhibition in France. After living and exhibiting in the United States and Europe, the artist immersed himself in these cultures before returning to Thailand, where he now lives and works. Since the late 1990s, his aesthetic has been both abstract and infused with popular references, exploring a form of visual and emotional attraction. 

Udomsak Krisanamis composes his paintings by layering materials without hierarchy: paper, newspapers, cardboard, plywood, noodles, acrylic, ink... In this exhibition, all these materials are recycled and transformed. They are valued not for their initial purpose or source, but for their shape and color. The works, executed with hypnotic precision, evoke networks or musical scores, highlighting round shapes reminiscent of musical notes, constellations, or ornamental motifs. These forms are mainly found in texts, letters, and numbers. From the beginning of his career, Udomsak Krisanamis has established a connection with languages by crossing out the words he understands. This technique gave rise to segmented drawings, which he later used as backgrounds in his compositions. Through this process, newspaper texts become lines and grids, rejecting linear narration in favor of an intuitive, meditative reading.
