Villazan is pleased to present After crying Suntur's first solo exhibition with the gallery in Madrid, opening on November 14th showcasing his majestic infinite landscapes.

Yozanun Wutigonsombutkul, better known as Suntur (b.1989, Thailand), currently lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand. While his roots are in advertising, he now works as a full-time artist. Suntur’s style is simplistic but resonant, setting his characters’ intricate feelings against a wide-angle scenic view. He always leaves some space in his works, giving viewers the opportunity to fill in the blanks with what speaks to them. He was recently selected to design the Hermès shop ahead of the Hermès Petit H Collection launch in Thailand.

His paintings often capture poignant moments over time, encouraging the viewer to appreciate the subtle and meaningful details. Suntur's work is characterized by a serene and contemplative approach, conveying calm and a powerful sense of air and space.

His works depict a desolate world in which two small individuals coexist, narrating their stories through vast and harmonious landscapes. In these landscapes, the sky and the ground meet in the infinite horizon of the painting. Their dazzling beauty is insinuated through clean and precise brushstrokes.

Small characters contrast with the grandiosity of the landscapes, hiding a more than profound message. The meticulousness of the strokes contrasts with the magnitude of the space, creating a profound message. The painting is charged with a poetics that speaks of man in front of the infinite horizon and the connection between people.

These small stories are set in grandiose landscapes, but contain within them a colorful essence that floods the scene. Delicate and suggestive landscapes, where the characters can be placed contemplating the landscape or performing actions that evoke in the viewer a sense of contemplation, requiring him to fill these stories with his own experiences, leaving room for the imagination to fly.

Suntur stated: "While it evolves and develops, I believe it still has my unique emotional personality, just like any work of art. I would advise painting frequently in order to develop my own aesthetic. You'll learn your color preferences, desired composition, and the means of expression you want to use via this process".
