Buffalo Boy

The Thai artist BoonkerdSrisukha¡¯s work embodies a water buffalo, a familiar subject from the artist¡¯s childhood. Exploring Srisukha¡¯s childhood joys from his memories, the artist delivers such delight to the audience through his memories of water buffalos, which closely influenced not only his own life but that of many Thai farmers. While the robust water buffalo presented in this exhibition is constructed of steel and bamboo and weighs 600kg, this water buffalo is dynamic in form, playing with excitement on the expansive seashore as if it has really come in contact with water. The lamp positioned within the form wrapped in cloth produces diverse lighting effects, representing the dynamics and visual pleasure of the water buffalos.
