- @Jiggo_peerapol

Thai young contemporary artist "Peerapol Aintoom", Peerapol’s works intend to take us to the early day of his action play. The appearance of many characters from different stories creates the communal gathering between heroes, villains and monsters. The surreal assembly of action figures are put together with brightly colourful background. It presents the make-believe toy land as a mirror to our social and political conditions. The artist projects his day-dreaming state of mind into a perversive eye-catching mise en scène.The works post some questions to the originality of his imaginations, values and the social truth that he come to know. These paintings are produced in dreamlike state while the artist is fully awake.


- @chamnan_chong

Chamnan merges pointillism and Aboriginal dotting technique to create artwork in his own style. For him, each dot represents an alphabet. The continuous stream of dots forming circles represents the forming of words. Several rings of circles put together in one place represents the forming of story.


- @Headache_Stencil

Headache Stencil is known for his satirical graffiti art depicting the military officials of Thailand who took power in 2014. Through street graffiti and murals, the masked artist Headache Stencil has been depicting Thailand’s ongoing clamor for democracy and reforms.

“In the world where different types of government exist, living conditions in each country vary. Still, many countries in Asia have been ruled by dictators for generations after generations so much so that the new standard has risen. People have to be admittedly happy as if the standard they’re living in is the real one”
