Encore Encounter

Opening Reception: Sat, April 15, 2pm – 5pm

Free to the Public

Encore Encounter features the works of Poramit Thantapalit. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles.  Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate. His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.
