With all those reasons, we joined together to praise Professor Silpa Bhirasri and considered him as the Father of Contemporary Art. Through his teaching, he dedicated the effort and tenacity to his students as the art instructor and father, while he struggled with his own health and many obstacles that prevent him from working with some Thai people in government because he was an Italian working in Thailand during World War II. He passed on his personal experiences and developed his disciples’ ideas whose thoughts were based on Thai culture and extended the thoughts to the contemporary arts that had been accepted by many civilized countries. Many of these fine works of art from many great artists that exhibited in this museum was motivated by Professor Silpa Bhirasri, the sculptor from Florence, Italy who polished and pulled out the best potential of his disciples. Also, we hope that we can give a good impression to people in the other countries who decide to visit Thailand with the murals in our museum that combine all the Thai-ness that they’ve ever experienced. MOCA intentionally preserved in collecting many contemporary painting and sculptures of the past seven decades to present-day with highly hope that we can share wisdom and entertainment to the audiences. Moreover, they can give clearly reflection of the beliefs that exist in Thai culture.
In fact, every civilized society in this world starts to work in arts with the same principle but the Thai artists have an ability to combine the moral principal and extend the meaning of arts, especially in traditional moral. Beginning with the image of Buddha that we pay the respect every day to the artistic beauty of the architecture at the temples which are the Cho Pha (gable apex), Raga Leaves (toothlike ridges on the sloping edges of a gable), also the mural in the small temples around the country. We’ve absorbed the beauty of arts through the Buddhism works since we were young. I found that Thai arts have a strong commitment to Buddhism in both ideally and practically, we can say that those commitments are in our vain running through our bodies. I’ve been observing and studying the development of art in our country which has a very unique identity for more than three decades.

The gaps between the jasmine plumes let in natural light tracing the patterns of the carved walls on the floor of the atrium, while revealing in full measure the excellence of the workmanship which can give a different feeling in different seasons. The most striking feature of the building is the openwork carvings which adorn either side of the facade, resembling enchanting plumes of jasmine cascading down the wall. But the main reason why Mr.Boonchai built this museum was to celebrate and appreciate the great favor of King Rama 9 and to honor “Father of Thai Contemporary Arts” or Professor Silpa Bhirasri.įrom a design standpoint, the building portrays the idea that it has been aesthetically carved from a single piece of granite. The long history of Thai arts has been assembled at Museum of Contemporary Art which had been established from “the passion of arts” that Mr.Boonchai Bencharongkul has. And by doing so, he was praised to be “Father of Thai Contemporary Arts” The works of arts that received an influence from what Professor Silpa had taught have reflected belief, faith and era revolution which can be compared as a big mirror reflecting both cultural prosperity in Buddhists and civilization of the country. Professor Silpa Bhirasri held to the philosophy “ARS LONGA VITA BREVIS” and used Academic Art to teach his students to improve their art skills to the same level as other civilization countries. That person was Professor Silpa Bhirasri (Corrado Feroci), Italian sculptor, who created painting and sculpture courses at Praneet Silpa School which had been changed to Silapakorn University later. When the era had changed, same with the works of arts, it was one person who was the key and played the important role of changing the aspect of arts in Thailand. Thus, the original works of arts portray the ideally beauty that worthy with the main institutions highly respected by all Thai people. Love, faith and loyal to national institution, religious and the king have been reflected through various works of arts since ancient times.
