JY . Please tell us about your study history, work done

DW . I studied art at the vocational certificate level (vocational certificate) in 1987 in the art department School of Design College of Technology and Vocational Education Northeastern Campus Nakhon Ratchasima. What I gained from studying the Fine Arts (present day Rajamangala University) is that I learn the basics of art intensively. All teachers taught me to know how to use ideas in art concurrently and study for a BA (Higher Vocational Certificate) in 1990, majoring in international sculpture.

JY . With the artwork done, please tell about the sculptures that have been made and tell about the art of Southern Isan. Where has the working team progressed? e.g., Dan Kwian Pottery or other places in the area that build a local reputation.

DW .Until about 10 years ago I thought I was ready to return to art. Therefore I joined the contemporary Dan Kwian group, Dan Kwian Pottery Village in Dan Kwian sub-district, Chokchai district, (if mentioning OTOP products (OTOP), one sub-district, one type of clay dolls or pottery products is famous. Of course there must be a name. "Dan Kwian Pottery" is at the top because of Dan Kwian pottery It has been famous for a long time in being distinguished by its strong, durable and beautiful products with uniqueness and diverse forms of sculpture and is becoming a popular product in the market. Wichan Pramulsri, (Chairman of the Dan Kwian Contemporary Group) and Ajarn Dej Nan Klang (Isan Heritage Artist of the Year 2022, Sculpture Branch) are leading and supporting the working atmosphere of the contemporary Dan Kwian artists. We are together like brothers and sisters. We will have a talk to consult each other all the time. and jointly displaying works of art continuously. In the past, Master Suraphon Panyawachira, (Isan Heritage Artist of the Year 2020, Mixed Media) consulted and talked with Wichan Pramulsri about uniting art workers in Korat who already have a regular job and are continually working on art. In July, 2022, there was an exhibition: "Life" Korat Contemporary Art Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Khon Kaen University: (Contemporary Dan Kwian Group and Contemporary Korat Group and Ajarn Tawee Ratchaneekorn, a national artist (Visual Arts - Painting Year 2005) as a consultant Thank you Khon Kaen University and the faculty members of Khon Kaen University, which gives the opportunity to the contemporary Korat group.

JY . Your Sculpture whether it's steel work, wood work, clay work that have been submitted to the contest or sent to show in various institutions that is important in how it causes change and development.

DW . My art work "Use lines to create relationships in shapes" tell stories about feelings. through lines and shapes. "I will continue to work on art." When I work on each piece of art, during the work it will always be happy, fun and challenging to myself, "It's like I'm going somewhere I don't know." I went on and on and on, enjoying the journey. There is a story between the two sides to see. Wherever you want to have fun, stop by ... I don't know where is the destination. "When I feel that I have reached my destination, I will stop and get ready. for the next trip." The development of my own work I don't know if my work has improved or not. I said, "My idea is better than my work", so I will keep working, making a lot, because I'm very late to come back to art. Therefore , I must be diligent to accumulate a lot of work experience. I try to observe and learn, from the work of brothers and sisters in our group to develop ideas, develop my own work. In the past, I started with purely clay sculpture. Then gradually found materials such as metal, wood to add more. Make the event look more charming and fun.

JY . Please tell me more about the advancement of the artist's circle in South Isan.

DW . The working approach of the Dan Kwian group of contemporary is get to know Dan Kwian pottery. Briefly, in the past, Dan Kwian Village was one of the old communities in the Mun River Basin. It was a frontier town called Dan Kratok  and used to be a resting place for caravans carrying goods between Korat and Cambodia. As a result, this village became known as "Dan Kwian". Later it was upgraded to Kratok District Dan Kwian Pottery Village. It is located in Dan Kwian Subdistrict, Chokchai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. It is one of the famous pottery producing villages.The villagers of Dan Kwian  bring the products out for sale. Moreover, Dan Kwian Village is another interesting tourist attraction. I have known Dan Kwian since I can remember, known as the art and craft of pottery, whether it is mortars, jars and potted products of various shapes. The most famous and known throughout the world is the Dan Kwian Terracotta Owl.

I know directly when I was studying art at Techno Korat all art students there will know the clay soil of Dan Kwian very well because we will use it to learn sculpture such as bas-reliefs, and floating models for Dan Kwian clay hair It is a soil that is very difficult to please, that is, it dries very quickly, especially if exposed to the wind, it will shrink quickly. It's hard and cracks fast, but has a charm that's worth finding. Terracotta Dan Kwian is just Folk Arts and Crafts. The method of creating artworks of the Dan Kwian group is the use of clay techniques by bringing Dan Kwian soil to create works of art in contemporary sculpture, by bringing together various materials as a mixed media such as jars and wood etc. or will be made in the form of terracotta only Well, which artist? How to create a works group? We just want it to be seen that Dan Kwian terracotta is not only a local handicraft, but can be used to create a work of art as well in a perfect artistic way and to create a variety of dimensions.

The feeling of making art today I'm really happy to be able to come back to making art. I met my friends who studied art both from the same institution and different institutions making art together Talk about art exchange opinions. It's a good thing. As I do art I take it to Facebook. The old feeling when I was in school came back, that I received feedback, got advice from my brothers and sisters, and what I felt best was like we had done homework and sent it to the teacher. I have faith. saying, "Our teacher just to see us make art: all teachers are happy."
