Invade #05 (2025)

This installment in Prathueang Kampat’s ‘Invade’ series uses a primary palette of red and blue to impressively express the coexistence of primal wildness and vitality. The artwork captures the face of a massive bull or bison with red fur and skin in a direct frontal pose. The figure’s face, rendered in deep brick red and crimson, emanates primal strength and intense energy, yet its eyes glow with an intense blue, suggesting a mysterious and deep inner insight. The most distinctive feature is the presence of vivid green plant life or moss growing around the creature’s nose and chin. This visually illustrates that resilient life force and nature’s regeneration coexist alongside the most ferocious power. The bluish-gray background envelops the creature in a more mythological and solitary atmosphere. Through the theme of ‘Invade,’ Prathueang Kampat conveys the message that wild power is not merely destructive but contains life and spirituality, penetrating our consciousness to spur new growth.
