Camouflage by Jirapat Tatsanasomboon



Thavibu Gallery is pleased to present the art exhibition Camouflage with new paintings by the Thai artist Jirapat Tatsanasomboon on 18 September - 10 October, 2010.

Jirapat is well known for applying a pop-art style to his paintings which often feature interactions between the East-West and Modern-Traditional. He appropriates images from well-known European masterpieces and inserts readily identifiable Thai iconography as a commentary on Thai society by re-interpreting the celebrated master paintings and using them as 'camouflage'.

















Jirapat Tatsanasomboon was born in 1971 in Samut Prakarn and completed his Master Degree at Silapakorn University in 1999.

Jirapat is well known for applying a pop-art style to his paintings which often feature interactions between the East-West and Modern-Traditional. He appropriates images from well-known European masterpieces and inserts readily identifiable Thai iconography as a commentary on Thai society by re-interpreting the celebrated master paintings and using them as 'camouflage'. His heroes are depicted in a distinctive Thai setting and are often seen interacting with traditional Thai heroes and mythical figures, most of whom are characters in the Ramakien (Ramayana). Jirapat also takes on well known icons spanning from old master paintings to stars in the entertainment industry and American superheroes and puts them in a new, Thai context. Jirapat has participated in several art shows in Thailand and also in Korea (2003), USA (NYC, 2006), Singapore (2008), China (Olympics, 2008), India (2009), Monaco (2010) and Argentina (2010).

Artist: Vasan Sitthiket, Thaweesak Srithongdee, Jirapat Tatsanasomboon, Therdkiat Wangwatcharakul
Dates: 14 – 19 July, 2010
Venue: Costa Salguero Convention Center, Buenos Aires, Argentina


Thavibu Gallery was invited to present Thai contemporary art under the banner 'Meeting Cultures' at the ARTECLASICA'10 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.The event will run from July 14-19, 2010.

Thavibu will present works by well known Thai artists Vasan Sitthiket,Thaweesak Srithongdee, Jirapat Tatsanasomboon, and Therdkiat Wangwatcharakul.



Vasan Sitthiket is 53 years old and one of Thailand's most acclaimed artists. He is known as a social critic, and most of his works address problems within contemporary Thai and international societies, such as the exploitation of the poor by the rich as well as the corruption among politicians and bureaucrats. He also points his finger to the rest of the 'capitalist world. Vasan has participated in numerous exhibitions and projects in Thailand and abroad, including the Venice Biennale (Italy, 2003).

Thaweesak Srithongdee is 40 years old and a graduated from Silapakorn University. His style echoes the influence of Surrealism and Pop Art. Thaweesak is a keen observer of people, their physical and mental characteristics, and his works are often about the need for self-expression. It is also about freedom from society's rules and the status quo of the real world we live in. Thaweesak has participated in several exhibitions in Thailand, and abroad such as in Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Singapore, Japan, and Indonesia. He recently participated in the Fukuoka Triennale and in the Jakarta Biennale.

Jirapat Tatsanasomboon is 39 years old, a graduate from Silapakorn University and one of Thailand’s most talented and upcoming artists. He has participated in several exhibitions in Thailand and also in Korea, USA, Singapore, India, and Monaco. Jirapat applies a pop-art style to his paintings and plays around with well known images and icons of western art and transforms these well known icons by changing their appearances and putting them in a new and alien Thai setting. The interaction between the Thai and western characters may be viewed as symbolizing interactions at various levels: east vs west and modern vs traditional.

Therdkiat Wangwatcharakul is 39 years old and a graduate from Silapakorn University. He paints with oil on aluminium sheets or on canvas. The use of aluminium makes his play with light and shadow unique. Typical to Therdkiat’s spatially sensitive compositions are his minimal urban-scapes. He also harnesses staining techniques that imbue his canvases with the same metallic veneer of his mainstay aluminium surfaces, Therdkiat is a master at evoking the loneliness of the big city. Therdkiat has participated in several exhibitions in Thailand, as well as in Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, Korea, Spain, and the USA. He was awarded the Jurors' Choice Prize in the ASEAN Art Awards.

Art Monaco'10 Special Edition art fair



Art Exhibition: Art Monaco'10 – Special Edition
Artist: Jirapat Tatsanasomboon and Pinaree Sanpitak
Dates: 29 April – 2 May, 2010
Venue: Grimaldi Forum, Monaco



Thavibu Gallery will present works by the well known Thai artists Pinaree Sanpitak and Jirapat Tatsanasomboon at the Art Monaco'10 – Special Edition art fair, which will take place at the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco.

Pinaree Sanpitak is 48 years old and has exhibited widely with solo shows in Thailand, Singapore, Japan, France and the USA, as well as participating in the 1999 3rd Asia-Pacific Triennial in Australia, and the 2nd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial in 2002. Her works are found in museum collections in Asia and beyond.


For over 15 years Pinaree has evolved her primal images of femininity down to two recurrent emblems - the vessel and the mound. Far from exhausting her subject, the industrious, explorative artist resourcefully and imaginatively continues to create interesting modes of manifesting intimate interpretations to the female psyche within contemporary society. Pinaree recently collaborated with master glass-blowers from Murano, Venice in Italy to produce unique breast-cloud sculptures that are both solid yet ephemeral in their transparent lustrous presence.

Jirapat Tatsanasomboon is 39 years old and one of Thailand’s most talented and upcoming artists. He graduated from Silapakorn University in 1999 and he has participated in several exhibitions in Thailand and also in Korea (2003), USA, New York (2006), Singapore 2008), and India (2009).

Jirapat applies a pop-art style to his paintings and plays around with well known images and icons of western art and transforms these well known icons by changing their appearances and putting them in a new and alien Thai setting. The interaction between the Thai and western characters may be viewed as symbolizing interactions at various levels: east-west, modern-traditional and USA-Thailand.
