Lines, Dots and Landscape

With these three concepts you could describe the work of Somsak Hanumas. Their interplay on the canvas creates an exciting composition that fascinates. Dots and lines above each other with strong colors that form a strong contrast with the rest of the painting. From very close the lines and dots are visible to the eye, at a distance the impression of a landscape becomes visible (a bit like the European Impressionists). This is also what the artist often aims for in his paintings.

In most of his paintings, Somsak Hanumas starts with a colored background on the canvas. The many dots of different colors find their way onto the canvas in shape and shade, prompted by his inspiration at the time. Finally, he adds the lines with acrylic lacquers. These lines are on and over the dots on the canvas. The artist follows a geometric order in order to properly reproduce the effect of the mix of colors and the impression of depth.

The paintings with the theme of the sun has its curve from his own thoughts about cosmos, space, the earth and our place in this order. He had to adjust his technique a bit to get the curved lines in the background. The acrylic lacquer lines are now realized here from the center to create the shape of the sun.

His paintings can look very monotonous and repetitive, but know that the artist enjoys working on them. His dedication is certainly palpable in his work, he is working on it with full attention and dedication. It gives him time to think about patience and time to enjoy life.

Somsak Hanumas works on a painting for at least two to three months.
