Thanomtup Ronarong, Thai Ink Drawing on Fabric, Signed
This is an original color ink drawing on cotton fabric mounted onto Masonite board, created by Thai artist Ronarong Thanomtup. The artwork, signed on the lower right, depicts a young nude female in profile, delicately combing her dark, straight hair. Thanomtup's intricate use of ink and textured backgrounds highlights his mastery of traditional Thai artistic techniques, combined with a modern sensibility. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1940, Ronarong Thanomtup is celebrated for his innovative monoprint techniques and evocative portrayals of Thai culture. A graduate of the prestigious Poh Chang Arts & Crafts College, his artistry has earned him international acclaim, with collectors including Lyndon B. Johnson, Bob Hope, and Vincent Price. Thanomtup's works often explore the harmony of traditional Thai themes and contemporary expression, reflecting his unique artistic vision. Known for his unconventional process of applying color with his hands, fingers, and palms, Thanomtup's creations are distinctive, blending spontaneity with precision. His artworks, including those housed in notable galleries such as the Sombat Permpoon Gallery, often feature intricate ink drawings and monoprints that capture the cultural and artistic essence of Thailand. This particular piece exemplifies Thanomtup's ability to combine traditional techniques with modern interpretations, making it a desirable acquisition for collectors.
