Bangkok’s longstanding contemporary art space H Gallery (Mae Rim, Chiang Mai, 085-021-5508. www.hgallerybkk.com) has just opened a Chiang Mai branch close to the Four Seasons Resort. It celebrates the opening with an exhibition of expressionist paintings called Untitled by Thai artist Mit Jai Inn, who looks to communicate his political views through the use of forms and colors. The gallery is open by appointment on Sunday-Tuesday only. While you’re in the region, head to Chiang Rai where until the end of this month, Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort (221/2 Moo 20 Kwaewai Rd, Chiang Rai, 053-603-333) showcases an exhibition by two veteran photographers, Kees Sprengers from the Netherlands and Blue Johnson from the USA, who have spent years taking photos of tribal people in Northern Laos and Thailand.
