| Summary: | This is a qualitative research that aims: 1) to analyze concepts and techniques used in the creation of contemporary Buddhist art; and 2) to relate studies of contemporary Buddhist art to the sociocultural context of Northeastern Thailand. The study considers data collected from academic documents as well as data collected in the field. The research results show that the influence of contemporary art from the West has played an important role in the cultural context of the Northeast, which is reflected in the work of Northeastern artists. Artists, such as Chokchai Takpho and Somyod Traiseni, employ the concepts of Buddhism and localism to create contemporary art works. There are four common Buddhist themes, which are the history of the Buddha, Buddhist doctrine, Buddhist philosophy and Buddhist lifestyle. While the two artists employ the same Buddhist concepts to create contemporary art, they use different forms, techniques, methodologies, and presentation of aesthetics. |
