Kitikong Tilokwattanotai

(Thai, born 1978)

Kitikong Tilokwattanotai was born in 1978 in Lampang, Thailand, and currently lives and works in Chiang Mai. He studied printmaking at Chiang Mai University before moving to Sydney, Australia, in 2001 to pursue a Master's degree in Art & Design at the University of New South Wales, which he completed in 2003.

After returning to Chiang Mai in 2004, Tilokwattanotai began teaching printmaking techniques at Rajamangala University. In 2014, he founded Art on Paper Studio, a residency and exhibition space in Chiang Mai dedicated to the creation of artworks using monoprint and other printmaking methods. The studio welcomes both Thai and international artists, fostering collaboration and exploration in contemporary print media.

Tilokwattanotai works primarily with paint on canvas and various printed media. His abstract work centers on the act of capturing and preserving emotion. In the series presented, he employs a unique pictorial technique of layered brushstrokes, resulting in accumulations of pigment with varying thickness and intensity. A final layer of transparent lacquer seals the surface, enhancing the texture and crystallizing the visual experience. The resulting compositions invite viewers into a contemplative journey through color, memory, and emotion.
