Vipoo Srivilasa CV's 5

Il lavoro di Vipoo Srivilasa è unico ed interessante, l'uso della decorazione su oggetti ordinari, risulta allo stesso tempo divertente ed intelligente. Sempre diversi, i suoi pezzi fanno uso delle tecniche tradizionali, spesso ispiarto dalla ceramica antica tailandese, per regalarci una visione del contemporaneo.
Prossima mostra ad ottobre alla Edwina Corlette Gallery in Australia.
