Bangkok’s Genetic Analysis Turns Floral Still Life Into a Close-Looking Exercise
Peerawayt Krasaesom’s exhibition runs through November 22 at BACC pop•up G2 in Seacon Square Srinakarin, daily 11am–7pm. Three official artwork images suggest ways to look.
Genetic Analysis revisits floral still life through the work of Peerawayt Krasaesom in Bangkok, running October 3–November 22, 2026, at BACC pop•up Gallery G2, on MUNx2’s third floor inside Seacon Square Srinakarin. The organiser’s introduction compares his process to a camera or microscope, examining structures and changes within familiar flowers. This is an exercise in looking through painting; the exhibition title does not indicate genetic testing or scientific laboratory services.
See the bouquet, then the detail inside its petals
The first official artwork image sets red flowers against green, with black leaves reaching outward and a vase on a blue tabletop. From a distance, the still-life arrangement remains recognisable. Closer looking reveals curving lines, dots and repeated shapes inside the petals. White angular lines pass through flowers, foliage and beyond the vase, offering another reading that does not resemble natural stems.
A second work switches to a yellowish background and dark vase while preserving the strong red-flower and black-leaf contrast. White lines cluster across the vessel. Compare how the colours, lines and containers are recombined rather than deciding which bouquet resembles life more closely. These are observations from the supplied images, not invented artwork titles, plant identifications or claims about the complete medium.

Rural memories inform an attention to nature
The introduction describes Krasaesom’s rural childhood before moving to the city. Foraging, raising animals and farming encouraged his interest in living forms, structures and characteristics. Alongside his own practice, he works as an art teacher, continuing to use nature to examine meanings of existence. Flowers become more than decoration: they offer a starting point for thinking about how living things form and change.
In a third official image, branches spread farther, with pink and dark petals, green above a red plane, and white lines running among several vase-like outlines. Follow a white line before returning to the patterns inside a flower to experience the shift between composition and detail. The microscope comparison describes a way of observing; it is not evidence that the patterns reproduce published cell images or genetic findings.

Find Gallery G2 at BACC pop•up
The venue is Gallery G2 on the third floor of MUNx2 at Seacon Square Srinakarin. Use this specific space and address when planning rather than heading automatically to the familiar city-centre BACC building. Published hours are daily 11am–7pm, with MRT Suan Luang Rama 9 listed as a transport reference. No fixed station-to-gallery walking time is supplied; check current mall entrances and venue information before travelling.
On October 30, this is an exhibition already under way, not an opening-day announcement. A complete work count, dimensions and admission price are not listed. Confirm visiting conditions with the venue. A useful question for still-life enthusiasts is how unfamiliar a bouquet can become when petals stop simply describing an appearance. Moving between the whole and its details follows the exhibition’s invitation to change the scale of attention.
