Both the restaurant and the artist will donate 10 per cent of their revenue from the event and the purchased paintings to the Freedom Restoration Project, a non-profit organisation that focuses on helping victims of domestic abuse in Thai-Burmese migrant communities.

The exhibition is divided into three parts or “chapters”: “The White Period”, a reflection of his battle with depression; “The Muse”, a slice of his romantic life; and finally, “Cubism”, a series of vibrant and muted cubist portraits of the personal and spiritual figures he holds dear.
