Exhibition Schedule

"New Paintings by Bill Bensley"

Duration:  10-30 January

Bensley's first 2025 exhibition celebrates his journey through diverse landscapes. Inspired by his recent travels, these dynamic paintings reflect his love for nature and the idiosyncrasies of different cultures.

Proceeds Beneficiaries: Education for deaf children in Luang Prabang and 36 underprivileged young adults in Siem Reap, Cambodia, enabling them to attend the Shinta Mani Hospitality School Class of 2025.

"The Ring of Fire"

Duration: 31 January – 27 February

This show presents Bensley's fascination with fire, lightning, and volcanos. Drawing inspiration from natural gas fires in Uzbekistan to active volcanos in Japan, Mongolia, Korea, and Indonesia, Bensley conveys the intense beauty of Earth's fiery forces.

Proceeds Beneficiaries: Milk for infants, clean water, toilets, and housing for underprivileged families in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Call of the Cardamoms

Duration:  28 February – 20 April

This show celebrates the work of global artists and artisans who've joined forces with Bill to highlight the endangered animals of the Cardamom Rainforest in Cambodia.  This rainforest is the last green lung of South East Asia, vital for the environmental and cultural health of Thailand, Cambodia, and the region.

All of the proceeds generated by “Call of the Cardamoms” will directly support the preservation, protection, and conservation of the Cardamom Rainforests, which is home to diverse native species such as langurs, slow lorises, mongooses, and gibbons. Shinta Mani Foundation and the Wildlife Alliance work tirelessly to safeguard this pristine ecosystem's rich flora and fauna, which is imperiled by a wide range of threats including illegal logging, poaching, and climate change.

This exhibition not only celebrates artistic expression but also underscores the urgent need to protect the Cardamom Forests, an ecological cornerstone vital for the sustainability and natural heritage of both Thailand and Cambodia.

“Art has become another of my greatest passions, and I'm absolutely thrilled about my upcoming rotating art exhibition at MOCA Art Space at Four Seasons Bangkok. This is more than just an opportunity to display my work—it's a chance to tell stories, provoke thought, and share the incredible energy and cultural richness of my travels and the characters I have met through art.  Each piece reflects a chapter of my journey, and the beauty I see in the world around me. What makes this exhibition truly special is its dynamic nature—it's ever-changing, evolving with new themes and ideas to keep it fresh and inspiring for every visitor. I want this space to be a sanctuary for creativity and connection, a place where art lovers and curious minds can gather to celebrate the power of imagination. It's been a dream to bring this project to life, and I hope it resonates as deeply with others as it has with me in creating it" Bill shared.
