In Middle Distance, Thiang Uk’s monoptychs evolve into diptychs, becoming fused into single canvases. The split persists as a liminal space animated by oil and rubbed pigment.

Sea and fog, ember and bloom collide on these canvases, forging a tense unity from opposing forces. Fractures bind into one restless whole.

Faint forms, sparks in haze and traces of legs or petals, glimmer like buried gold from shadowed earth. They pulse, half-seen, in the dark.

No horizon anchors these works, yet their void yields a stark clarity. Surfaces hum, neither unified or fully divided. Absence sharpens their precision.
