 Bangkok; July 9, 2008 - All eyes were on “The River”, when Raimon Land recently hosted the exclusive launch of Navin’s Sala, by internationally renowned artist Navin Rawanchaikul. Over 500 guests crossed the Chao Phraya to attend the premier of Navin’s first ever retrospective exhibition, as well as the publication of the artist’s unique monograph, Navin’s Sala.

 Mr. Henri Young stated, “Raimon Land is proud to bring all aspects of lifestyle ranging from concerts, exclusive dinners, celebrations to art exhibitions to our prestigious waterfront landmark, The River. It is very exciting for us to have such a critically acclaimed artist as Navin to exhibit here at The River.”

 Moreover, the event was co-organized by the Bangkok Art Map (BAM!), the dramatic evening was marked by a new product launch of Jim Thompson’s Pha Khao Mar Collection by Navin Production, sponsorship from Value Systems (ECS), and Belgian beers on tap courtesy of Brewberry.

 Featuring the international debut of several new art works as well as many works never previously seen in Thailand, Navin’s exhibition opening was livened through a funky mix of sound and visuals, along with special cocktails and The Pizza Club’s mobile pizzeria.

 Open to the public until August 10th, Navin’s Sala is a remarkable three-floor exhibition in which Bollywood style film, old-fashioned movie billboard paintings, and popular Thai and Japanese Manga style comic books, combine with life-size fibreglass figures. A rare opportunity to acquire works by the critically acclaimed Indian-Thai artist, head to The River to witness some of the most cutting edge art on view in the Thai capital.

 Navin’s Sala will remain on display until August 10^th @ The River Promenade (open daily from 10am to 6pm; free admission), on Charoen Nakhorn Road, near the Peninsula Hotel.
