Seven Artists, Seven Representations of Lanna
For more than a year, COVID19 has threatened lives across the world and has affected almost everyone on the planet in one way or another. The pandemic has halted the global circulation of goods, services, and information we had taken for granted.
In our lives as in nature, sometimes crisis begets opportunity. Artists who cherish the chance to work undisturbed have taken advantage of this unusual opportunity to follow their inspiration in unaccustomed peace and quiet. Local Lanna artists have spent the past year painting in their studios, carving wood and stone in the forest, and printmaking. The collection of artworks they have created represents a tribute to the nature that surrounds us and to their beloved Lanna heritage, as they have taken their inspiration from the art and culture that has been passed down through the generations.
