Kwanchai Lichaikul graduated from the Suphanbury College of Fine Arts and from the Faculty of Painting and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. His drawings are characterized by the use of simple lines and tonal contrast, covering the canvas with details, inviting the viewers to carefully explore the intimacy of the drawing. That way he is telling a story, mostly in rural environments. In Globe, a new series of round black and white drawings of landscapes, he goes further beyond the linear perspective developed by the Italian Renaissance by using a new perspective, a bird eye view. He also reminds us of the cultural symbolism of birds; they are bridging the mundane and the spiritual life, contemplating our inner landscapes and our souls.
