Traditional Thai Rubbings of Celestial Figures
These hand-rubbings present vibrant celestial figures inspired by traditional Thai mythology, utilizing a centuries-old technique. In this process, paper is pressed over intricate temple carvings, capturing the raised patterns and details by applying a colored medium. The result is a striking depiction of mythological beings adorned in elaborate attire, their forms reminiscent of Thai religious art and performances like shadow puppetry (Nang Yai).
The figures, rendered in brilliant shades of red and gold, exude a sense of movement and grace, drawing the viewer into Thailand’s rich artistic traditions. Presented in minimalist shadowbox frames, these works retain their cultural authenticity while offering a contemporary display aesthetic. These pieces are ideal for art lovers and collectors with an appreciation for Southeast Asian traditions and mythological themes.
