If we cannot keep everything as it was, how can we carry it with us as we move forward?
Only by Changing is the first solo exhibition by Viput A., featuring his first acrylic paintings on canvas in a decade. It marks a significant shift in his practice. He moves away from illustration, with its familiar close-up perspectives and storytelling, toward wider views that reveal spaces, atmospheres and movement in ways audiences have not seen before.
Life may be much like a river: it flows forward, carries things along, transforms them and leaves traces in its wake. The world moves on quickly, while our inner feelings stay rooted in the same moment. Change does not always mean losing what we once had. Sometimes it means discovering that certain things can remain meaningful, even in a different form.
Viput A. explores this idea through acrylic paintings that resemble photographs, using motion blur to capture moments of transition. Some elements blur as if passing by, while others remain still, creating still images that hold a sense of continuous movement. Visitors journey from the chaos of overwhelming change, like powerful gusts of wind, into a blurred stillness where the world keeps moving around them. Gradually, things come back into focus, and they learn to move with change once more.
The exhibition also marks a reunion after nine years between Viput A. and fashion label Leisure Projects, in a special collaboration within the show.
Some things stay, only by changing.
