Encore Encounters

Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) will feature of Poramit Thantapalit in Encore Encounters, with an Artist Opening Reception on April 15, 2-5pm.. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles. Each piece can stand alone as an individual object or together to create a large installation. Cyanotype prints are often made of the recycled objects of art. Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate. His work inspires viewers to protect our environment. For more information visit www.rocklandartcenter.org or call 845-358-0877. Closed Sundays
