Tawan Wattuya: Works 2009-2019
Of the hundreds of included works, Tawan’s paintings of a hanging corpse from the 6th October 1976 massacre, and a man beating the victim with a chair, are among the highlights. (Tawan painted another version of the ‘chair man’ for the Thai-language edition of Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit’s book A History of Thailand, and his 2019 paintings of red-shirt and People’s Democratic Reform Committee protesters appear in a later printing of the Thai edition.) There are also sexually explicit paintings from his Story of the Eye exhibition. Unfortunately, his Red Faces series was excluded.
