Bright Bold Beautiful Abstract Paintings by Dhanat

ABOUT THE LITTLE ARTIST It might be a surprise to know that the artist, Dhanat Plewtianyingthawee, is only a little boy of 4 and a half years old. With his special talent in art, he started holding brushes and playing with colors since he was only one and a half years old. His bright and bold paintings reflected his well-tempered, lots of sense of humor, and ceaselessly imagination. Experimenting with many findings in the household together with many artist’s materials and mixtures of many water-based media, he always creates new exciting, unique, and impressive textures. His paintings are currently sold worldwide. BACKGROUND The whole story started when he was allowed to play with his mommy's artist-grade water-soluble wax pastels in September 2005. It was a great fun for him to scratch and then paint with water using various techniques his mom taught e.g. drip, drop, splash, sprinkle, spray, and many more. To his parent's surprise, the output was far much better than they had ever expected. SUCCESS STORY Seeing those beautiful works, his mom cropped, cut, designed the background and assembled the original art piece to the front to make greeting cards and started selling them. Those original art greeting cards were very successful. Within a couple weeks last year, about one thousand cards were sold. WORLD'S YOUNGEST ARTIST SOLO ART EXHIBITION In order to prepare building up stock for this year's greeting cards, he started creating new paintings since early January 2006 using new media and materials. Then, he surprised everyone again. This time, he had created lots of big paintings (some are the whole piece of watercolor paper as large as 50x70 cm. or 74x94 cm. with frame) which were too beautiful to be cut into small pieces. His colorful abstract paintings impressed many people including professional artists and the Managing Director of TRSC International Lasik Center, Thailand, offered to host a solo art exhibition for him last April 2006. The show named 'Boundless Imagination'. MEDIA EXCITEMENT : TALK OF THE TOWN The exhibition stirred the excitement of all media in Thailand because he is possibly the world's youngest artist who ever have a solo art exhibition all by himself. The show was very successful and his 84 beautiful works impressed everyone. It drew a lot of visitors and inspired many parents not to over look any sparkling hint unintentionally showed by their kids. Almost half of the paintings were sold too. Dhanat and his parents got interviewed over 10 TV programs, leading newspapers (two of them, his story appeared on the first cover page) magazines, many radio programs, internet, and the reporters still keep coming even nowadays. In addition to those success, Dhanat got 3 awards for his outstanding multiple abilities, not only art but also others i.e. music (violin playing) performance and languages: the first one is a 'Model Kid' award from a kid's TV program named 'House of Good Kids', second from Nestle company in the Bear brand's 'Can Do' campaign, and lately from Cerebos company from the Brand Junior product ‘Smart Kids’ campaign. PRESS QUOTATION "Pint-sized Picasso" "Is this talented three-year-old destined to become the art world's next big thing?" The Nation, April 17, 2006 "The outcome is very impressive. Abstract paintings full of contrasting colours reflect the artist's confidence and unlimited imagination. They are so stunningly beautiful that it is hard to believe that these are the works of a three-year-old." Bangkok Post, April 27, 2006 INVESTMENT POTENTIAL Knowing that Dhanat starts to be famous in his art talent while he is very young, people think that he will have a very high potential in the future. The value of this little artist's original artwork has increased substantially over the past 6 months. The value of the piece you purchase will possibly be increased significantly too.
