| Gallery Overview Blurb: | Vipoo Srivilasa’s quirky ceramics gather their inspiration from
the shapes, textures and bold colours, characteristic of the
Australian environment. Through his vivacious artworks we can see
how Srivilasa brings the distinctive Thai ginger jar design with him
from the Thailand of his past to the Australia of his present. These
jars have since taken on new shapes and the dramatic colours of
Australia’s coastlines, flora and fauna he has encountered on the
way, demonstrating both the difference in his physical surroundings
and his changing identity. Srivilasa employs strong characters garnered from Thai mythology in his ceramics. In particular, there is the recurring mermaid figure a character that, according to the Thai tale, is stuck between the two oppositional and over powering forces of good and evil. Give this mermaid a touch of drag queen glamour and you have a glimpse of Vipoo’s cheeky alter ego. My Self : My Other exhibit at Über Gallery, Melbourne, Australia 2006 |
