Description:
Painting with a palette of acrylics, artist Jakgrit Mooninta depicts a hut in the northern countryside. "I grew up in a small rural village amid rice fields. In the corner of every plot would be a small shelter where farmers could rest up for lunch or sit and watch the fields. These shelters would be small and usually made of whatever materials came to hand. They were a part of our life, a part of our work that helped feed us and make us into what we are today," the artist explains. Jakgrit signs the piece and gives it a distressed finish.

About the Artist:
This painting was made by Jakgrit Mooninta. He was born in Chiang Rai province in 1975 and grew up in a rural village. He studied art in vocational college and later graduated from the Technology Institute in Chiang Mai.
"As a boy, going to village temples meant a lot to me as I would join in all kinds of rituals and ceremonies. There were so many little details to take care of and it all seemed so lively. The temple murals in particular would fascinate me. The Buddhist way of life in a rural village surrounded by animals and nature seemed like an open classroom. Watching daily life was like watching a way of life and culture— it was a great experience. It governed the way I behaved with others and helped me understand how they saw life. It was what I could bring into my world of art," says the artist.
