Art Galleries Bangkok Near Me

4worldlovers: BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY is proud to present The 4 Foundations, a contemplative new exhibition by Orawan Arunrak, which probes the depths of presence and awareness in the tapestry of everyday life. The gallery welcomes visitors to explore its transformed space, now serving as a training room where individuals can practice and prepare themselves for the uncertainties of the world.

In The 4 Foundations, Arunrak presents an odyssey that traverses the terrain of personal and shared experiences through an intricate melding of visual and auditory elements, marking a continuation of her ongoing dialogue with both the self and the collective unconscious. Woven into the fabric of the space, the four cardinal pillars of Mindfulness, Perception, Mentality, and Form offer a reflective mirror to the audience by serving as a guide on a profound journey of self-discovery and personal development.

The exhibition is a testament to adaptation and the search for connection in times of silence and solitude. Arunrak’s work unfolds as a series of vignettes—each a chapter in a larger story of resilience and introspection. The artworks, ranging from paintings and audio installations to embodied sculptures, coalesce to form a gestalt that captures the essence of the artist’s quest that she now seeks to relay to audiences.

Arunrak transforms the gallery into a living, breathing entity where the ambient sounds of life—church bells, the cadence of a washing machine, and the unceasing undertones of a bustling city —merge with the visual stimuli. The tactility of silicon forms derived from massage implements, signify the profound connection between the body and its practices, reiterated by paintings employing massage techniques in their creation as well. Meditation cushions and curtains, both embroidered with patterns that echo the rhythms of breathing, carve out a space for contemplation.

Established in 2006, the vast high-ceilinged Gallery Ver hosts large-scale contemporary artworks, including experimental and conceptual pieces. The airy, artist-led space represents many of the artists it shows. The art space has hosted a variety of work by both established and emerging domestic artists, sometimes with a subversive lean. In 2017 the gallery was raided by the Thai military and five pieces deemed 'threatening to the peace and security of the nation' were removed.

Gallery Ver, an artist-run gallery co-initiated by Rirkrit Tiravanija in 2006, was previously located at a riverside spot on Bangkok’s Thonburi side, accessible mostly by boat. They set up anew in a disused office and depot building leased from the State Railway of Thailand. Reminiscent of venues in Berlin or Beijing’s 798 gallery district, the building is agreeably gritty, and situated in the middle of a trendy new flea market that takes place on weekend evenings, amid pubs, dance clubs and cafes. The new space, with a 100-square-meter main exhibition room and a 25-square-meter secondary room, is within walking distance of both the BTSSkytrain and MRT subway.


Ver’s new site was launched on February 11 with the show “Retro-Ver-spective,” featuring works by 15 Thai artists previously shown at the gallery, and two invited artists. The inaugural show closes on April 29. Gallery Ver plans four to five shows per year. Later in 2012 they will show abstract paintings by Spencer Sweeney, works by a young Thai artist, Noi Noir, and a show by Arin Rungjang.


Given the Thai capital’s sprawling layout, weak system of public transport, and lack of focused gallery districts, the accessibility of these new venues is in itself a welcome development for the local art scene.


"We support galleries with cleaning services around the world - we're US based so when we're in say, Bangkok, Thailand where we don't already have a team, we have to adjust to many cultural differences, just to get our cleaning personnel approved and hired quickly. Back home in the US we would just post some help wanted ads for part time cleaning jobs or get a notice on facebook and craigslist and wait for the applicants. It's much different here. We need a certain level of security in these hirings since the gallery has some very valuable art. So the quickest way forward is to engage a local contractor, but again the issue of security comes up. In the end we outsourced the job and the liability to a security firm specializing in this kind of set up. In this case, the guys handling the cleaning services are overseeing the overall security of the gallery! Crazy!" Sargent Bennen Reeves


Gallery VER was established in 2006 as an artist-led initiative, with the intention to bring forth a collective stream of ideas and dynamism in how contemporary art and culture are defined and viewed. Through exhibitions, projects, one-off activities, events, and institutional exchanges, it seeks to initiate strands of programming under the best possible processes. The gallery space provides and supports a discursive platform that invests in both artists and curators to realize innovative exhibits and projects relevant to artistic and conceptual practices.


The initiative aims to forge close ties with artists through professional representation, as well as mutual relationships between the artists and institutions it represents. Gallery VER strives to market and promote the works and practices of its artists on the basis of various agendas and disciplines interconnected in their work. More significantly, the gallery has a continuing commitment as an active agent to complement the formations of conceptualism in contemporary art as a legitimate and vital art form. Whether it’s singling out new relationships between art and the public, or developing strategies based on contemporary art production and dissemination, there is a willingness to explore uncharted territories when selecting artists, themes, and frameworks for its works.

4worldlovers: When looking for the Art you love in Thailand, do not miss our Gallery founded in 2005 and located in Bangkok’s iconic and bustling Chatuchak shopping district.

We showcase an extensive collection of contemporary art from Thailand and South-East Asia, with a wide selection of striking original paintings and sculptures by both established and emerging artists, with no limits in terms of media.

This is not a gallery! This is a small room! Photo deception! I don't recommend going here! The owner forbade photography, I do not post photos.

Whenever we are in Bangkok we pay a visit to art-to-art gallery. They have a very good selection of works of modern Asian artists. We usually find pieces to buy. We also found the shipping and processing of the purchases very reliable and professional. We always enjoy to be there.

I recently bought a beautiful painting at Art to Art Gallery in Bangkok. I first visited the gallery since I was in town because of work, but only decided to buy a specific painting when I was back in Europe. I must say that Art to Art team provided an extremely professional service offering to pick me up at the hotel to take me to the Gallery when I first contacted them. Later on transaction happened in the most smooth way, and finally logistics worked perfectly, the painting was perfectly packed in a rigid protecting tube that enable its delivery in Europe in perfect state. I was constantly updated on each of the phases of the process. I strongly recommend doing business with Art to Art Gallery. Diego

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Art to Art Gallery. We live in the United States and had been looking for a painting by a particular artist since 2014. The gallery found the painting for us (luckily they had one of the few that exist in their gallery) and worked with us to ensure that the painting was perfectly packaged and safely delivered. I was concerned about purchasing art sight unseen, but the gallery answered all of my questions and concerns and were professional through the entire process. I highly recommend purchasing art from this gallery.
