The Khao Yai Art Forest, an artistic and ecological retreat in Thailand, spans 210 acres and merges creativity with nature. Founded by Marisa Chearavanont, the forest aims to elevate the representation of Thai artists on the global stage while introducing international works to local audiences. This unique approach sees art as part of a reforestation project, promoting sustainability and mindfulness. Featuring large-scale installations and curated exhibitions, the Khao Yai Art Forest is set to redefine the contemporary art scene in Thailand, bridging gaps between local talent and international recognition.
When we go to Hong Kong for the auctions, for example, we hardly see Thai artists, and I feel that the Thai artists who are there are undervalued.
Instead of confining art within walls, she sees the Khao Yai Art Forest as a "reforestation project", where art and ecology coexist harmoniously.
Her goal? To elevate Thailand's art patronage and institutional infrastructure, bridging the gap between local talent and international recognition.
This new sanctuary is redefining Thailand's contemporary art scene, fostering artistic vision through large-scale commissions, site-specific installations, and curated exhibitions.
