Surat Osathanugrah has proved himself. In little more than five years, he has become one of the most outstanding Thai photographers. His strong and speedy rise, marked by several international honours and awards, is all the more astounding and impressive when it is discovered that this hot new photographer is no young man but a 78 year old retired businessman, educator and former government minister.
‘Face - Hand - Back - Foot’ is another exhibition of black and white photographs that will attest to his gifts as a sensitive artist and surprising observer of the world, of seemingly insignificant but telling details that most people overlook. With their free and idiosyncratic composition, with their simple beauty, by making us smile or at times awing us into silence, these pictures awaken us to our own mortality and the impermanence of life. |
