Thailand
'Sunshine on Rice Fields'
Yellow birds feed in golden fields in this nostalgic work by Det. Working in the xylograph, or woodcut technique, the artist creates a mesmerizing image of Thailand. "I portray a rice field in the morning with its tall, swaying grasses, " he says.
'It's Me'
Tired, bored, Jhoy watches the world go by, a passive witness to the world around. "I tried to transfer what resides in my own world, " confides Meesap. "This feeling is my power and my inspiration." Woodcut print on Fabriano paper, 3rd in a limited edition of three.
'Who'
Looking back with distrust in her eyes, this small dog exudes an inherent strength. Somewhat emaciated, she still has the power of life. Darutsawin Meesap paints an impressive composition that is strong in expressive force yet minimal in detail.
'The Color of Winter'
"Feel nature, feel yourself, and feel the calm. You will be part of this environment and it will make you happy, " advises Det as he declares nature his muse. For this woodcut print, he finds inspiration in the magic of a twilight sky in winter, illuminated by the setting sun.
