Hansar Hotel s New Gallery The brand new Hansar Gallery Space at The Hansar Hotel in Ratchadamri Road, close to the Ratchadamri Skytrain station, is now presenting its first exhibition, featuring artists Promma Inyasri and Myint Soe. The spacious gallery has chosen two very different artistic styles to launch the art space, but the two approaches complement each other well. Thai artist Promma Inyasri presents a set of highly

detailed paintings in classic style on large canvasses, featuring ethereal scenes. The Chiang Rai based artist has earned special recognition for his artworks, and has exhibited throughout Thailand and China. Burmese artist Myint Soe is exhibiting a series of paintings depicting scenes from his homeland in his trademark impressionist style which he mixes with contemporary moods. The artist founded the Summit Art Collection Gallery in 1995, and has gone on to exhibit his work in numerous exhibitions in Burma and the ASEAN region.
