Renowned Thai artist Patcharapon Tangruen, better known by his moniker Alex Face, recently completed his most ambitious artistic pilgrimage yet: a 1,200km cycling journey from Bangkok, Thailand to George Town, Penang, interspersed with frequent stops to paint.

His two-week adventure culminated in Faded Landscapes, a solo exhibition showcasing the 21 paintings he made along the way, capturing fleeting moments of inspiration on portable canvases as landscapes shift around him.
