The Splendour of Nature

The Splendour of Nature
by Charoon Boonsuan November 29,2009 – February 28, 2010 at 116 Art Gallery, Chiang Mai

Charoon Boonsuan is one of the country’s earliest and accomplished pioneers of Impressionism. He sees the beauty in his own neighborhood. Behind his house, the vast climbing plant, a New Guinea Creeper, or Red Jade Vine flowers in reddish orange or vermilion color, in contrast against a big tree with green lush leaves standing at the edge of a canal. A reflection of clouds in the sky over the water surface nudges spectators to wonder wherther the view is from a real colorful glass plate looking over arow of shrubs in the garden where he used to take a daily walk.
