REAL LIFE SITUATIONS is my first solo exhibition at Cardoza Fine Art in Houston, Texas and is on view between March 4 through 27, 2016.
Cardoza Fine Art is excited to present, Real Life Situations, a solo exhibition of new photography and installations by Michael Bhichitkul.
Through his photography and sculptures Michael presents a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the mundane. Objects, trapped in Bhichitkul’s world where solutions to common problems go awry, are presented as opposing forces locked in a ridiculous stand off. The tension in his pieces is balanced by his color work and compositional choices creating an elegant and complex final outcome.
Bewildered by the faces watering dead plants, something similar to bumping elbows with another in the restroom or watching a mother help their newborn downstairs - breaking the ice, a look at tomorrow.
It might look and maybe for even a second feel like you know it and you want so deeply to belong inside of each moment, each situation, lured by the simplistic accepting beauty of what easily appears and disappears and just as soon as one tries, you realize you just ruined it, You got in the way. You’ve been there, or you’re here now.
So few are the moments that truly add depth to our simple lives. Those of us who are childless by choice, champion meaninglessness as virtue, find comfort in the new. Every flat tire, game lost, scrape to our hands and knees, and unexpected scavenged find is another star being born, lighting our way back home.
Namaste, motherfucker.
-Nancy Douthey, Edgar Meza, Barry Elkanick
Michael currently lives and works in Houston TX. He was born in 1990 and received his BFA from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in 2012.
