Interested people are invited to trace the unseen lives of Thai workers in Scandinavia and migrant communities in Bangkok through vibrant paintings during “Flowers For Everyone”, which is running at Crystal Court, M floor, North Zone of Siam Paragon, Rama I Road, until Nov 7.
Presented by SAC Gallery, this is a pop-up solo exhibition by Juli Baker and Summer, one of Thailand’s most beloved contemporary artists, whose work is celebrated for its radiant colour, bold brushwork and narrative sensibility that fills each canvas with life, emotion and imagination.
On display are two interconnected chapters of her practice. Created during her time in Scandinavia, “The Journal Of The Nordic Lands” series features paintings that depict skies, gardens and forests that glow with luminous colour and appear serene and idyllic.
Hidden from view in these landscapes, however, are Thai migrant workers who travel north each year to harvest berries. Their lives become part of the scenes themselves, reminding us that beauty can also hold stories of endurance, distance and struggle far from home.
Back in Bangkok, the artist began a new chapter from her small apartment near a public park. She observed the delicate rhythms of the city — couples on picnic mats, housekeepers resting between shifts, expatriates practising yoga, migrant workers caring for children and students gathering after school. These fleeting moments form a fragile weave of connection, moments of togetherness that exist alongside absence.
From these encounters came a new series of works including You Can Look At These Flowers, They’re For Everyone and The Flowers I Saw In My Dream Last Night.
Part observation and part imagination, the flowers are symbols of urban life — ordinary yet radiant, rooted yet displaced. They reflect the artist’s wish to share beauty openly while quietly honouring the unseen workers whose labour sustains the rhythm of the city.
