If it were not for a floral sculpture at a restaurant's entrance, people would have missed all the artworks. From shelves to corners, they camouflage quietly among furnishings. And the artist is no exception. Outfitted in a monochrome checkerboard dress, Prem Buachum blended with the background of a tearoom.
"As this is living space, art shouldn't get in the way," said Prem in an interview at the launch of their month-long exhibition at The Parlor. "Everything should flow."
A collaboration between Prem and The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, "Bloom As You Are" transforms the hotel's dining room into a meadow to celebrate Pride Month. It features the main sculpture, four large objects and 30 decorative items. All are upcycled from discarded textiles. While revelling in their beauty, guests can enjoy an exhibition-inspired afternoon tea.
