The 3rd <strong>Bourgogne</strong> <strong>Tribal</strong> Art <strong>Show</strong>, taking place from 24 th – 27 th May <strong>2018</strong><br />
in the wonderfully located Domaine Bruno Mory in Besanceuil will again bring<br />
<br />
and renowned merchants for four days of enjoying <strong>Tribal</strong>, Classic Asian and<br />
Contemporary Art in a most bucolic setting in Burgundy. Music, excellent food<br />
and obviously the renowned regional wines will make this an art festival like<br />
no other. At the Abbey de Cluny, a special exhibition aptly named “Bestiaire”,<br />
curated by Aurélien Gaborit, Curator of African Art at the Musee Quay Branly in<br />
Paris, will show masterworks of animal depictions in <strong>Tribal</strong> Art.<br />
Our own contribution to this most cultivated art event will be a visually delightful<br />
exhibition of a selected group of early Southeast Asian sculptures, all from<br />
European and American collections with impeccable provenances. They will be<br />
juxtaposed with stunning black-and-white, airy paintings by one of Thailand’s<br />
new painting stars: Jiratchaya Pripwai.<br />
We look forward to seeing you in Besanceuil.<br />

JIRATCHAYA PRIPWAI<br />
Born in 1983, Jiratchaya Pripwai graduated with a Master degree in<br />
2011 at the renowned Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic<br />
Art at Silpakorn University, Thailand’s most demanding training<br />
ground for artists. Many of Thailand’s top artists started their<br />
careers at Silpakorn.<br />
<br />
and airy textile-like paintings on canvas has rapidly earned her a<br />
devoted following. Most of Thailand’s renowned private museums<br />
and collections own one or several of her ink-on-canvas pieces.<br />
A 2015 exhibition in Paris was rapidly sold out. Her large-scale<br />
<br />
not more than a handful are normally being produced per year.<br />
Already considered to be one of the fastest rising stars in Thailand’s<br />
Contemporary Art scene, she is bound to burst very soon onto the<br />
international art scene.<br />
