Portraits from the Bangkok Night Chris Coles

December thru February 2011, one of Bangkok's trendiest upscale nightclubs, Bed Supperclub, was the setting for my "Portraits from the Bangkok Night" show. An average of about 500 people a night for 3 months, about 50,000 people in all, viewed the show. Unlike a traditional art gallery which gets a crowd on the Opening Night and then only a few people in the days after that. Bed Supperclub's stylish nightclub-style lighting which included a little bit of Black Light gave the portraits a lovely florescent glow, perfect for creating the ambiance of the Bangkok Night. It was great to see my paintings being enjoyed "in" the Bangkok Night, as part of the Bangkok Night, not just as paintings "of" the Bangkok Night....
