Date & Time: Until Friday, July 18, from 10am to 8pm
Location: Art Focus Bangkok, 1st Floor, River City Bangkok
Price: Free entry
This July, you can find a range of art exhibitions in Bangkok, including Living Lines. It’s Murayama Tomoaki’s first solo show in Bangkok , and it draws you into a world where nothing stands alone. His fine-lined drawings and sculptural pieces combines animals, plants, and people into dreamlike forms that feel both ancient and alive.
Originally from Kyoto, Murayama treats nature not as scenery but as connection. Therefore, each work invites stillness, pulling you closer with details that reward careful attention. Owls, roots, feathers, and limbs all flow together in a language without boundaries.
So, where will you be this weekend? Bangkok has plenty of things to do to keep your calendar full!
