MOOD PALETTE

Wuko, a Thai artist influenced by Oriental mythology, draws inspiration from a childhood immersed in the rich culture of growing up in a Chinese Buddhist family. His art, often described as a blend of manga characters, delves into the complexities of human belief through his signature character ‘Buddhie,’ inspired by Buddha. Navigating the intersection of spirituality and social life, Wuko sparks contemplation on the diverse and sometimes perplexing nature of our beliefs. He actively participates in street art events in Thailand and collaborates with animation companies, including contributions to visualizations for Dubai World Expo 2020. Continuously exploring techniques without boundaries, he strives to create something new.

”Mood Palette“ To this day, people in our society navigate various roles and moods that sometimes adapt to blend in and other times embrace hard work to outdo achievement. In this exhibition, ‘Buddhie’ explores life’s myriad emotions across six vibrant canvases, blending Oriental Buddhist and cartoon influences. Reflecting on the intricate dance between spirituality and social life through elemental forces, the ‘Mood Palette’ unfolds to review the hues that define the diverse duties shaping our lives.
