Natee Utarit. Ball of Greed and Illusion no. 1, 2008 (private collection).
Oil on canvas: 180.5 x 160 cm. Auctioned at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, April 2021. Natee Utarit (2018): “I’m always asking the people around me if we aren’t looking at things too optimistically. Is everything we see really as beautiful as it seems? These kinds of questions aren’t meant to destroy people’s faith; they are a reflection of our uncertainty and loss of belief in the reality right there in front of us. We can’t deny that always looking at life through rose-coloured glasses doesn’t teach us much of anything about how to live our lives in the world as it is today - a world where reality is so much more intense and so radically different from the past”.
