Ssangyong Series

The Ssangyong series originates from 17th-century techniques used by the monks of Ssangyong, Thailand. An intricate style of painting was used as a form of meditation.

This is the only series that was developed in response to a psychological need for the artist to release tension by being immersed in a task. During hard times, Thierry B turned to this series to bring himself back to the moment.

The delicate complexity of this fine brushwork requires total absorption from the artist.

Works in this series can take weeks or even months to complete.

These lyrical fluid shapes and images transform the spaces they inhabit.

Thierry B explains the art of Zen, “My work is about introducing the joy of colour into our lives, seen here through cross-sections which challenge your spatial perception. Vibrant hues and curvilinear forms in repetition create a sense of motion and a dynamic feast for the eyes”.
