About the artwork

In this ethereal painting, a ballerina balances en pointe atop a Royal Water Lily, holding a red ribbon in one hand and a musical instrument in the other. This work blends Knakorn’s detailed precision with his dual influence from the East and the West: it features Western humour motifs such as a jester’s head and carnival decorations while intertwining Knakorn’s Thai influence, seen most prominently from the Royal Water Lily, a symbol of wealth and prosperity in Thailand. In this collage of aesthetic influences and style, Knakorn paints what the epitome of poise and success could look like.

About the artist

An artist of Thai heritage, the Eastern elements to Kachacheewa works are intricate and woven seamlessly into his diverse styles that bridge pastel hues, Pop vivacity, Impressionist forests and figures hewn with grace that echo nude Classicism. What may describe a number of artists from various disciplines is remarkably what defines the work of just one man. Blending together distinct elements of Western and Eastern art, the artist creates visions of conceptual fluidity that ebb and flow with consciousness, dissipating and reuniting in unison with the compartmentalized visuals that constitute it. A jack of all trades and master of aesthetics - these are the works of Kanakorn Kachacheewa
