Step inside Lek Gallery Art. Feel the cool air on your skin. The history breathes here. This isn’t just a gallery. It’s a legacy.
Lek Gallery Art isn’t a newcomer to Bangkok’s art scene. It’s the older sibling of ATT 19. The Attakanwong family are the masterminds behind both. They’ve curated a collection spanning generations. Their passion for art antiques and fashion is on full display. Think of it as a family heirloom. Open to the public.
ATT 19’s location is significant. It’s housed in the former Arthorn Suksa Chinese School. This building’s history adds another layer to the gallery’s rich tapestry. The transformation is stunning. Gigantic ancient wooden doors now greet visitors. They open to an airy space. White walls showcase art pieces. Raw concrete flooring provides a modern counterpoint to the exposed teakwood ceiling. The ground floor is a shop. You can find collector’s items there. Rare bric-a-brac abounds. Perhaps a carved wooden chair from the Ming Dynasty. Or a magnificent piece of 19th-century embroidery. Even uniquely shaped Japanese ceramics are displayed. The art of imperfection is celebrated here. Vintage clothing from around the world completes the eclectic mix.
Upstairs at Lek Gallery Art the second floor is a more traditional gallery. Acclaimed contemporary artists are featured. Emerging Thai talent also gets a spotlight. A tree-filled courtyard sits at the heart of the gallery. A sunroof bathes the space in natural light.
Lek Gallery Art isn’t just about art. It’s a celebration of family history. It’s a testament to the enduring power of art and culture. It’s a unique blend of old and new. Modern and eclectic. Don’t miss this gem. It’s more than just a gallery. It’s an experience. It’s a story waiting to be discovered. A story you’re part of right now.
