Artist ‘Krachok’ Pongsakorn Tantinikulchai said, “Each piece of art in this exhibition reflects the events and challenges that we encounter—sometimes scary, sometimes seemingly insignificant, happiness and sorrow intermingled. But it is through these big and small challenges that we discover the power and abilities hidden within us. Believing in our worth allows us to overcome any obstacle. This exhibition aims to inspire and remind viewers that we all have strength and can overcome life’s obstacles.”
Mr. Pichaya Viwatrujirapong, Managing Director of Madskills, said that “this exhibition originated from the concept of interpreting the name ‘Not Krachok’ (not mediocre), which comes from the idea of the Hero’s Journey often used in literatures and films. It emphasizes the main character's adventures he/she has to overcome. There’d be various challenges and problems to solve. Usually, stories end in films, but in real life, it’s a continuous loop like a never-ending journey. This exhibition wants art viewers to reflect on their own Hero’s Journey and enjoy the art that Krachok has created.”
Collaboration with True Digital ParkTrue Digital Park's General Manager, Dr. Tarit Nimmanwudipong, emphasized that “True Digital Park is committed to fostering creativity among new talents, particularly Thai artists, through continuous collaboration with startups like Madskills. We have received positive feedback from visitors and students alike.”
“Not Krachok Exhibition, named after Thai artist Krachok, intends to offer perspectives on the ordinary lives of everyday people, often perceived as mundane or below societal standards compared to others in today's competitive society. It challenges viewers to embrace their uniqueness and persevere through self-doubt, believing that understanding oneself and steadfastly pursuing one's dreams can lead to success,” Dr. Tarit added.
