Realistic painting earns its popular character for being accessible and not too difficult to comprehend. It’s a form of art that is touchable, personally integrated and straightforwardly reflective to reality, which is probably why Somphop Saengprom’s realism works have always been popular and interested among both rookie and veteran art spectators.

Sompop is back with even more intensified experience and skills in his latest solo exhibition, ‘The Graceful Contradiction’, depicting images of crystal clearly detailed paintings of rocks and pebbles in the creek with sparkling tide flowing through. Fitted in the perfect composition, the artist brilliantly creates the vision of maidens with delicate gestures among the surrounding nature, where rocks, waving tress and silky tide are combined from the difference, yet harmoniously composed, of beauty.

Number 1 Gallery invites you to the opening of the exhibition, ‘The Graceful Contradiction’ on the Thursday of 15th January 2009, 6.30 p.m. at Number 1 Gallery, B1 floor, Silom Galleria Buliding. The exhibition will be held from 15th January to 8th February 2009, exhibition opening hours are Mondays-Saturdays 10.00-19.00. and 11.00-18.00 on Sundays.
