webfact Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Buddha-Ultraman painting sold for Bt600,000 By The Nation One of four paintings depicting Buddha as an Ultraman superhero by a fourth-year university student secured a winning bid of Bt600,000, after the paintings were displayed at a Nakhon Ratchasima shopping mall. The paintings had caused a stir among Buddhists and activists early this month. Pakorn Pornchiwangkur, the person who organised the auction of these paintings on behalf of the painter, posted on his personal facebook page on Thursday (September 12) that one of the Buddha-Ultraman paintings was sold for Bt600,000. According to his post, the bid winner had already wired in the deposit money of Bt400,000. Pakorn said that the painter would receive Bt100,000 as compensation, while the rest of the money would be given as charity to Dan Khun Thot Hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima province. He added that the artist was now in good spirits and had already been contacted for a designing job by a clothes manufacturer who was impressed with the artist’s talent.

Also who knows if anyone actually paid 600K....maybe, or maybe just a way to help her not lose face? Thai culture is hard to understand sometimes.

My wife and I are Buddhists and neither of us were shocked or offended. Interestingly, she, also being an artist, was both shocked by the "art" that had a statue of Christ in a jar of <deleted>.
