playful art

Portly and powerful, elephants are an important part of Thai culture. They have been a symbol of both power and peace. From Kanda, two playful figurines are crafted by hand in the tradition of celadon ceramic arts, renowned for its subtly crackled glaze.

This playful monkey can hang in any position thanks to the brass hooks on its hands, feet and tail. Somyot Sawasdee designs and sculpts the mischievous creature by hand, with recycled paper and cement. The Thai artist finishes the wall sculpture with green and gold paint, creating the illusion of an aged bronze piece.
