From the artist:
“Virtual Artist Talk by Dallas, TX Based Artist Narong Tintamusik on his exhibition, ‘To Sleep on a Bed of Tears,’ that is currently up at the Clyde H. Wells Gallery of Art – Tarleton State University. The artist talk will be held on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2021 at 2:15 PM CST.
In ‘To Sleep on a Bed of Tears’, Narong Tintamusik explores the loss of innocence and cyclical nature of trauma. Drawing from personal narratives as a sexual abuse survivor, Tintamusik presents paintings that are derived from his experiences. The title of exhibition was taken from one of his poems that talked about the mental implications due to the traumatic events. For an early part of his life, he wondered why he had to face such hardships and sometimes cry himself to sleep. The paintings on paper are also deeply inspired by his childhood trips and the supernatural elements of Thai/Buddhist culture. The sublime environments of the natural world offered temporary solitude for Tintamusik. Despite enjoying moments of freedom while on vacation, specters and spirits continuously haunt him. Although he has moved on and is enjoying life within the light of day, the shadows of the past still visit him at night.”
