Silpakorn painters produce series of images honouring the king’s wide range of artistic talents.

 

BANGKOK: -- TO REMEMBER His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the “Supreme Artist”, a group of Silpakorn art students have turned their university’s white wall into a public art gallery. 

Nine portraits depicting the late monarch’s artistic talents are now on display at the university’s Tha Phra campus, which is opposite the Grand Palace where His Majesty’s body is lying in state. 

The portraits, including those of His Majesty painting, playing the saxophone, taking photographs, penning books, building a sailboat and sailing, have been put together in a mural on a two-by-two metre wall.
