The latest workshop hosted by A Keen House will be led by the “highly sensitive artist” Petchpaints. Participants will learn watercolour painting techniques that focus on channelling creativity rather than creating accurate and lifelike images. Get your creative juices flowing and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere with some coffee and snacks by your side.

3/5 Twilight of the Icons

“Twilight of the Icons” is an exhibition that embodies that feeling of recalling distant memories that may or may not have happened. The artist, Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew, employed his signature layered gauze technique to create a 3D effect on the portraits, resulting a hologram-like effect. Each piece represents a chapter in Thai history.

4/5 Distance and Existence

A group exhibition by Kade Javanalikhikara, Amornthep Mahamart, Jiratchaya Pripwai, Aor Sutthiprapha, and Kitikong Tilokwattanotai, “Distance and Existence” is meant to inspire a dialogue between the art and the viewer’s own interpretation, challenging the idea of whether beauty needs definition or attention. Observe the various mixed media pieces as you ponder the meaning—or lack thereof—of abstract art.

Visit the Diane von Furstenberg pop-up store at Gaysorn Village, which includes a small cafe serving quality drinks and delectables.

Do some shopping, have some coffee, and snap a couple of shots to show off your latest DVF purchase here.
