Today I saw this statue from the Thai culture and it inspired a desire. I looked at its form and the way it dressed and pondered on the history of its outcome. The clothes being revealing and sensual, conforming to soft beautiful curves, an idealization. Yet in counter to western ideals was also in a state of prayer revealing ones attachment to practicality in a warmer tropical climate as opposed to the history of colder from the west. #chaoswingsart - - #artwork #inspire #gallery #blackandwhite #drawing #brushstrokes #penandink #ink #sketch #sketchbook #instaart #instaartist #auckland #newzealand #artlovers #dailyartchallenge #pleinair #landscape #dailychallenge #dailyart #arteveryday #newzealandart #thai #thailand #thaistatue #prayer #understandingculture #statuedrawing #perspectivedrawing (at Spices Thai) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0w5HO4Hlgc/?igshid=zcb6leufv332
