About Torch Ginger Gallery
Located in Room 311 as a part of AIR (Artists in Residence) program by River City Bangkok, Torch Ginger
Gallery is by Pe Dahla creating torch ginger ('Dahla'), a kind of tropical plants, for over 20 years with intriguing and experimental concept.
AIR (Artists in Residence) program by River City Bangkok has selected Thai and foreign artists and provided them a room to work and sell artworks.
It embodies the concept Create, Share, Teach, Learn, therefore my gallery has welcomed art lovers and everyone in regardless of age, race, gender to enjoy art with me. I have shared my work techniques and invited them to create works together. There is no rule. Nothing is right or wrong. It’s Art!
I would like to share my experiences that I have gathered for 20 years earning a living as an artist. My techniques as a signature have been evolved through time and experiences. It is better for them to discover my works in person.
I hope they like and enjoy it somehow.
