CHAICHANA is among Thailand’s most notable up-and-coming young artists. The winner of the UOB Painting of the Year Competition, he draws urgent attention to what these abandoned items tell us about our world. He invites viewers to imagine what “old” will mean in the future, through his mindbogglingly detailed and vivid depictions of piles of debris. We start to comprehend the bleak future that lies ahead if we continue to mindlessly build and destroy, feeding our insatiable appetite for renewal. Waterscape II depicts the inevitable crisis of waste around the globe. A seascape of man’s hubris, where things that once soared in the sky now rot on the ground. In a twisted irony, this “waterscape” is instead a sea of metal scrap, the future’s listless boats on a sea of our own making. This NFT is listed with the authorization of the owner of the acrylic on canvas painting Waterscape II, sold at auction by BONHAMS Hongkong. Dimensions: 2048x1514 Color space: RGB Size: 4.3 MB
