rencontre

rencontre is an exhibition of works by the internationally celebrated thai architect sumet jumsai and his daughter maymay and son prisdha. sumet and maymay are exhibiting paintings while prisdha shows examples of his achievements in architecture. this is the first exhibition by the jumsai family in china and follows from a showcase titled “3” in bangkok, eighteen years later!

the chinese partners in rencontre are li yugang and xueyi fan. li yugang is widely celebrated for his practice as singer and actor. he introduces traditional chinese opera with a modern twist to the young generation and his art is welcome by worldwide audiences.

xueyi fan is a born artist. this multi talented painter, potter, poet and writer had exhibited her works all over the world.  

introduction to rencontre

rencontre is an exhibition where interest ranges across painting, architecture, sculpture, design and performance with artists from thailand and china. for the jumsai family itself, this diversity is evident. the family can be traced to 19th century siam in the reign of rama iv or king mongkut when prince choomsai (son of rama iii), later created krom khun rajsihavikrom, was the first of the choomsai family; choomsai can be transliterated as jumsai or xumsai. this was an era of accelerated modernization for the kingdom and the prince was in the forefront as architect and engineer. his careers continued across generations to encompass a variety of creative and public practices that contribute to the life of the country.

rencontre translates as ‘encounter’ and here unfolds the coming together of artists in a period of time. within the jumsai family, relationships move through history and across the contemporary, from the design sensitivity of prisdha’s architecture to the intimacy of captured moments in the paintings and architecture of sumet and maymay’s artwork. in this exhibition, relationships and correspondences between thailand and china are explored while each retains their autonomy. but this is no mere conceit of a group showing; in rencontre we learn how different forms and methods can reflect each other in the structural qualities and fluid movements of all their works. the paintings of sumet emphasize line and shape through delineated motifs against colourful backgrounds. maymay’s luscious prints of thickened paint and gloss sit atop a transparent surface that reveals the wooden support of her innovative painting practice. and prisdha’s bold approach to architectural design is particularly highlighted in his plans for the new art museum (nam), yet to be built in bangkok, where grand, colorful and irregular shapes were inspired by picasso’s 1915 painting titled harlequin.

to bring these artists together is to discern how often the categories we use (‘painting’, ‘design’ and ‘modern’ or ‘contemporary’) are often mere sleights. such categories possess many correspondences that are not usually studied to great interest. perhaps it takes a comparison of the intimacy of familial relationships and an understanding of historic connections across national borders to allow such.
