From Discarded to Remembered – STRATUM Opens at The Charoen AArt
Bangkok, Thailand, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Charoen AArt, in collaboration with Artsy, proudly presents STRATUM, a solo exhibition by Ukrainian artist Illya Skubak. This marks his first solo exhibition in Bangkok and will open on 15 June 2025 at the gallery on Charoen Krung Road in the Bang Kho Laem district of Bangkok.

STRATUM is an exploration of the emotional, physical, and cultural strata of contemporary life through ordinary objects that are often left unnoticed. Skubak collects materials from his surroundings in Bangkok, including tyres, helmets, mannequins, bamboo, and metal scraps. He assembles them into sculptural works that speak to transformation, presence, and memory hidden within the everyday.
Each piece avoids fixed explanation and leaves space for viewers to form their own interpretations 'I don't offer answers,' says Skubak. 'The work only begins to live when someone connects with it in their own way.'
Born in 1999 in Okhtyrka, Ukraine, Skubak began his artistic journey as a teenager. He works with materials shaped by use and time, creating artworks that reflect place and change. Now based in Bangkok, he continues to create from what surrounds him, using objects that carry quiet stories and traces of life.
The exhibition also features pieces from STONE – Artifacts of the Future Past , a series of hand-engraved volcanic stones. Each stone includes an engraved image, a short poetic reflection, and a unique NFT. 'Stone is the first blockchain,' Skubak writes. 'It preserves without revision.' These works create a conversation between permanence and impermanence, linking memory, material, and technology.
'STRATUM shows how art can give meaning to the everyday,' says Bryce Watanasoponwong, founder of The Charoen AArt. 'It invites us to pause, look more closely, and discover beauty in what we often overlook.'
