Niti Wattuya (Thai: นิติ วัตุยา; 1944–2023) was a contemporary artist and poet. He was one of Thailand's prominent self-taught artists, alongside Tang Chang and Pratuang Emcharoen. Niti gained recognition for his landscape paintings, earning the reputation of being an artist who "paints landscapes like writing poetry."[1]
Career
[edit]He first gained attention in the art scene when he exhibited his works in 1971 as part of the "Dhamma Group" (Thai: กลุ่มธรรม). He later showcased his works in collaboration with the "White Group" (Thai: กลุ่มไวท์) on several occasions.[2]
In addition to his visual art, Niti was also an writer, producing both prose and poetry. His first published work, The Flames of the Era (เปลวไฟแห่งยุคสมัย), released in 1985, was a collection of essays engaging in a critical dialogue with art institutions. He subsequently published several collections of free verse and reflective writings, including The Oriental Spirit (จิตวิญญาณแห่งตะวันออก) in 1989, Song of Starlight (เพลงแสงดาว) in 1991, Lum Chao Phraya (ลุ่มเจ้าพระยา) in 1995, and Affinity (ปฏิพัทธ์) in 2011.[3]
Additionally, Niti was the uncle of contemporary artist Tawan Wattuya.[4]
