In fact, the young man has been interested in art since he was a kid and furthered his study of painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Srinakharinwirot University.

Now Palm is showcasing that talent in the solo show “Siam Rangers” at Subhahsok the arts centre on Sukhumvit Soi 39 from August 10 to September 10. The exhibition talks about his own experiences and what other people say in the social media about the police.

“My record company’s policy is that their artists have a responsibility for chatting with fans on the social networks, which I do so I understand what’s going on in society. The police are often discussed on social media, I guess because everyone has some experience with the boys in brown. It can be good or bad, directly or through the media. So I selected it as the subject for my show.”

Palm’s paintings are full of black humour from real life stories of people. They are also satirical, especially regarding uniforms, which define the role of people in society, such as businessmen or policemen. Palm uses a comic-like drawing technique so as to lighten the criticism, especially in his works exploring the role of the police. Mixed in are many hero characters that pose questions.

The opening reception will be held on August 10 at 6pm. For details, call (02) 258 5580 ext 401 or visit the “sacbangkok” page on Facebook.
