About Exhibition

I Am a Good Online Shopper, So I Try To Be a Good Painter 2 is a solo art exhibition of Supapong Laodheerasiri that presents paintings and installation art. In the exhibition, corrugated fibreboards from used postal boxes and used packages that came from online shopping were used to be main materials for creating paintings, which could refer to the rapid growth of E-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, basic stationery items also were used to be part of artworks, particularly cloth tapes, which have been used for marking points to keep social distancing or physical distancing in many places since the outbreak of COVID-19. Therefore, the exhibition could reflect the use of used materials, cheap materials or ordinary materials to create artworks, which is the economical artistic creation in the current economic crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 and also could reflect the state of the economy and social situations in the present. Furthermore, the exhibition also could pose questions about the value between used materials, cheap materials or ordinary materials and artworks.
