Egg Flower by Suthamma Ta Thimkaeo at MASA-UK Art Gallery

Egg Flower, original oil on canvas, 110x80cm The Egg collection is a play on Ta's childhood memories. Her mum would prepare a daily lunch box for her to take to school as there were no cooking facilities. When the lunch bell rang, the children would sit on the floor together and eat their lunch. Almost every other day, her mum would prepare a Thai speciality of a fried egg on rice. The other kids would tease her and say, "Ta! fried egg again? You will begin to start looking like a fried egg soon!". It's these comments that allow her to weave her childhood musings into her art in a playful way. "I used to plead with my sister to have something different, but we had many chickens and many eggs, so it was always fried egg on rice". Suthama Ta Byrne as sated at many art selling platforms is “The one to be watched”. From the rise farming community outside of Bangkok, thanks to her vivid imagination, hard work, nascent artistic skills and maybe a little bit of luck Ta’a work is presented at many renowned galleries/online art selling platforms and her work is hanging on the walls in over 60 countries all around the world. She gives her lovers plentiful and sensual curves. They have an intimacy that only lovers can share; they are free of age, origin and nationality. They are free and in tune with each other.
