Gumsak Atipiboonsin is a senior well-known artist in Thailand. His work has become popular with overseas collectors. He chooses to do abstract
work based on their inspiration, and he has worked continuously, never stops, no matter how long time has passed.
He graduated from the Faculty of Painting, Silpakorn University Bangkok Thailand. He explored many art forms. Finally, the abstract is
something he is more proud to do and he says that when they see abstract painting without asking the artist what it is, the audience will ask themselves how they feel when they see
his work. And being a senior artist in the Thai art world, the price of his painting is quite high, along with the quality of the work.
JY. Tell us your perspective of abstract art.
GA. Abstract art is a universal language that communicates the conditions
of the artist's mind immediately and directly. It is free and not limited by any regulations. The aesthetic taste we receive from abstract art is like a
deep and impressive emotion that we get after listening to a masterpiece of instrumental music composition in which the melody amazingly
communicates feelings to us without the use of any words. Traces and strokes of the artist's brush have the same power while he is creating a
piece of art. The created work responds to the need of the subconscious mind of the artist. Although the result of the finished work may not be an
answer to any reasoning questions, it is still a reflection of the artist's intention and truth even today. My painting reduces and abandons forms
and stories in my paintings. Only the power of the colors remains on the canvas. My work is like a record of my breathing.
JY. Please tell us about the inspiration for your current work.
GA. It is still an abstract work that uses bright colors and simple shapes.
Due to the situation of COVID 19, there is continuous working time. I want the audience to be happy to see the event even only in online media. This
work is inspired by the nature that has been harvested from real locations to save as a work of abstract design.
JY. Please tell us something your life and education.
GA. I grew up in Pathumwan district in Bangkok until my family moved to
the Thonburi side, Samre district, then moved to Sathupradit near the market, where there are antique coffee shops in the market. I have love d
drawing since childhood. Participated in a picture contest in high school, vocational, won the third watercolor in the vocational education contest of Thailand
At home, I was the only one who studied and entered the Faculty of
Painting, University in 1985 and graduated from the Faculty of Painting in 1989,
Year three, I was the chairman of the Faculty of Painting. I worked for an
online magazine for 17 years. While working, I continued to create works. Still working on abstract painting. The journey of making art in its early
days as a full artist was quite difficult. Online in those days used Albal Photos went to presenting Galleries. Lucky to come across an American
white gallery based in Thai H Gallery Row.
SathornRoad has allowed us to showcase and sell the works of both domestic and international customers until they have the money to buy
houses for studios and living. Personally, my family is quite supportive and encouraging.
Now in Samut Prakan, there is a studio in my house, I work every day.
