Hi Hivean Friends!
For those of you that follow me for some years in Hive or Steemit before you must have noticed that I like photography and now with the app Liketu, I will be able to post or repost some pictures and give the story or context behind pictures.
Today's pictures and posts are also related to my previous post ''White Temple'' or Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand. In fact, today's pictures and the white temple picture show the art of one guy named Chalermchai Kositpipat who's a world-famous artist, especially for his paintings and sculptures. He owns the land and the white temple and many other buildings around, all in the Chalermchai Kositpipat style, a nice mix of traditional art with some psychedelic full of spirituality and superstitions from ancient times, visually full of contrasting colors. The white temple is located outside the town of Chiang Rai at about 10 Km and because the city is so proud of his work they ask him to beautify the main street with a clock tower at the center traffic circle and to replace all the street lamps. As you can see in the pictures it is definitely his work with all the details and fantastic animals and spirits. The art is present like in most of his work but I find the color ''gold'' a little too much for a city, it is too flashy but it is just me and my tastes. But if you find your way to Chiang Rai both the White Temple or Wat Rong Khun in Thai and the center of the town a must-see. The white temple and all the other buildings around and get the sunset there is a good feeling at night time get yourself dinner at one of the restaurants around the clock tower and each hour the tower is lit with many colors and effects. One thing I am sure of is after visiting those places you will be interested in Chalermchai Kositpipat art.
Much Love
