inspirations and creations
Following the steps of Vira Jothaprasert, an emblematic figure of Thai modern art who dedicated his art to prints, etchings and monotypes, Arnon explores in his latest series the lives and hopes of disadvantaged people, struggling to survive in today’s society.
“Having been confronted in my personal life with the difficulties encountered by handicapped people, I chose to further study and represent their hopes as a way of showing in a broader sense the daily struggles of suffering persons. Legs are the real actors of my prints, personifying the elusive quest for happiness in a society that does not care anymore to help the less fortunate”, explains Arnon.
