The Jam Factory would like to present the paintings created by Jarasporn Chumsri under the exhibition "Atmosphere in the Virtual Museum + Experience + Emotion = Canvas Exhibition"
While the COVID-19 pandemic suspended activities and disrupted all aspects of our lives, Jarasporn has been trying to find potential matter from such dire circumstance. As an introvert, socializing and hanging out with others are not her cup of tea. As a result, she spends most of her time painting in the studio. She considers herself lucky for being born and living in the era that digital platforms allow her to stay connected even without leaving the studio.
As mentioned above, Jarasporn came across Google’s newly created platform called Google Arts & Culture, an application that compiles contents about museums, art galleries and heritage sites all over the world. Thus, remote audience can appreciate them on digital screens.
Jarasporn’s paintings in this exhibition were inspired by the combination of the atmosphere inside those virtual museums that she visited online and her firsthand experiences when visiting those places in person. Her work also examines an alternative definition of the world-renowned masterpieces she has seen on digital platforms.
The moment she learned about Google introducing Google Art & Culture, she felt as if she were brought back to her museum tours. She also virtually attended other museums that she ever wanted to go, but has not got an opportunity to do so in real life.
All prototype paintings in this exhibition belong to prominent painters who influence Jarasporn’s style in her early and current career. She has been taught about their concepts, techniques, and styles throughout her studies. In addition, since digital screens are the original source of her paintings, Jarasporn discovered that images on screen are made up of three primary colors (hues): red, green, and blue. When all of them appear simultaneously on black screen, our human eyes perceive them as white. On the other hand, when these primary colors align in a certain way, they generate magenta, yellow and cyan.
