Paint-crusted boxing gloves are perched on the backrest of a chair in Chulayarnnon Siriphol’s Bangkok studio. Next to the chair sits a canvas on an easel splashed in red, recalling the action paintings of Japanese artist Ushio Shinohara, who dipped boxing gloves in paint and punched at canvases.
Both are remnants of the video installation Red Eagle Sangmorakot: No More Hero in His Story, that won the Taoyuan International Art Award Grand Prize in Taiwan earlier this year.
