Atomino 2010

Prapat Jiwarangsan is a Thai ceramist, performer and artist. He studied in Bangkok and got his MA on Ceramics & Glass Arts at the Royal College of Art in London. Here we reflect the artist’s statement:

I have come to realized that my working styles stemmed from a total different source of motivations. My first drive comes from sheer impulsiveness which, by and large, produces a sudden blow of vigorously contrasting and colourful expression. Resulted from an uncontrolled sensation from within, the form has been shaped without prior drafting.

Another drive comes from my search for peacefulness – an utterly contradicting sensation from the former one. It is as if I yearn for fleeing from the chaotic world to the tranquil haven – my most sought after desire. This kind of artwork tends to reflect my serene state of mind. Principally, it can be said that these two types of working styles interrelate with nature, human relations, and Buddhism. My designs are after all molded by these three elements.
