Endless Endurance Painting

Inson Wood draws inspiration from his formal training in architecture and interior design, and the rich heritages of his Thai-French ancestry. Heavily influenced by the concept of Zen philosophy and Buddhism, he embraces the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, a world view centered around appreciating beauty that is perfectly imperfect in nature. The Enso, a sacred symbol of togetherness in Zen Buddhism, can often be found in his works as an underlayer or an overlayer in his paintings. Deeply ingrained in Inson’s work is also the idea of the Kantian sublime, of philosophical beauty, of aesthetics, of lightness, of the divine. Inson masterfully juxtaposes this idea of beauty according to Kant with the darker side of beauty – of depth and truth, purpose, and organized disorder. Having designed and decorated numerous homes around the world, Inson believes in the transformative power of art and that it should be accessible to all, not just the wealthy. His paintings and sculptures are held in private collections around the world. Son of renowned Thai artist, Inson Wongsam, pursuing all creative media: including painting, sculpture, photography, film, and printmaking. Art is the answer to so many questions remind us of the beauty of life and what it means to be a human.
