Finnish painter invites to Bangkok art exhibition

The 6th JeOn Art Booth Annual Workshop Exhibition, titled ‘Diversity’ opens in Bangkok, Thailand, with a reception on July 25, featuring the Finnish artist Anne Rantanen.

This is a joint Art Exposition helt at Chamchuri Art Gallery, Chulalongkorn University, showcasing a new body of work.

The exhibition presents artwork produced last year by the workshop member artists. JAB is an art circle of traditional Oriental painting by general public who live and work in Thailand. Regardless of the member’s nationality, it has actively performed its art programs and regularly held its member shows since 2001.

Anne Rantanen is a finn who came to Bangkok for the first time 34 years ago.

“In 1981 I started to study traditional Chinese-ink painting with Mr Lim Eow Opas Harnvanich. Now in 2015 my paint strokes are strong and I’ve found new ways of expressions by combining Japanese paper with water and fire,” says the painter.
