A leading figure of contemporary art in Thailand, Mit is known for his colourful artworks that merge painting and sculpture. Dreamworld features recent and new works made for Ikon which embody his vision of art Òas a utopian dream within everyday lifeÓ and collective hopes for a brighter future. ÒWhen I paint, itÕs not only with my eyes, but with all of my senses: touch, smell, movement. The whole entity.Ó Mit Jai Inn Photo credit: Dave Warren/Picture Team PLEASE CREDIT PHOTOGRAPHER PICTURE BE USED ONLY WITH PERMISSION FROM THE IKON GALLERY BIRMINGHAM
