'For Nah, Just A Stopover, the artist paints moments and memories from the short trips she took when not working: around her native Thailand; in Japan, where she completed a three-month residency at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum; and in Italy, on vacation with her family. These new oil paintings are a log of her travels, a visual journal filled with caricaturised portraits of real people she encountered along the way, both expectedly and by chance. 
Kansanoh's distinct aesthetic brings together elements of Mannerism and Impressionism, comics and children's cartoons, caricature and kitsch. Characteristic of her work, the two-metre tall paintings are filled with giant pink, fleshy faces, all with engorged cheeks and comically oversized features that seem to burst and bulge from the canvases. Every expression is exaggerated and every gesture is made dramatic, altogether transforming simple images of everyday mundanities into vivid scenes full of life and personality.' - from gallery's website.
