Pai Village

Thailand Pai Village is based on the artist’s first perspective of Pai Thailand. Sitting on a balcony after days of travel to reach this destination, still with his head in the clouds, the artist pondered the banana tree as highlighted against the dry rice fields before the next planting and the distant mountain with the gigantic white budda sitting on one of the peaks. Later, he discovered the music scene downtown and captured some of the artists playing. Merging these two ideas he came up with a Chagall-inspired piece called Pai, Village.
