BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 October 2024 - In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Thawan Duchanee Day on 27 September 2024, Siam Piwat Group is proud to present the exhibition La Grotta dell'Arte Leggendario Thawan Duchanee at Siam Paragon, one of Thailand's foremost experiential luxury destinations and home to an impressive world art collective.

This exhibition honors the visionary work of Thawan Duchanee, the renowned artist who was affectionately titled Nai Khon Phukhao (Man of the Hills) by Professor Silpa Bhirasri, the Father of Thai Contemporary Art.

This milestone exhibition, which will end on 31 October 2024, is an integral part of the Thailand Arts & Culture Expo 2025, further cementing Thailand's reputation as a key destination in Asia's art world. Siam Piwat, as a leader in integrating art, culture, and innovation within the commercial landscape, is honored to have supported Thawan's creative journey for over a decade.

La Grotta dell'Arte Leggendario marks the debut of Thawan Duchanee's art grotto, a concept that epitomizes his connection to nature and tradition. The exhibition also serves a charitable cause, with proceeds from the sale of artworks and memorabilia going towards flood relief efforts across Thailand.

One of the highlights is a co-created installation titled 'Aurora' by leading French visual artist, Pascal Dombis, who is known for his use of algorithmic rules, digital artistic tools, and his knack for creating environments marked by excess repetition and technological processes.
