Thai Artists | Thaweesak Srithongdee
Thaweesak Srithongdee was born in 1970 and graduated with a Master in Fine Art 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. The current exhibition. "HappyLand
is about the strong disapproval and offensiveness that
dwells quietly inside of him. It is 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. It questions our existence and the space we
occupy. That very space we express our inner self
freely in - does it truly exist?
Thaweesak has
participated in several exhibitions in Thailand. Moreover,
he had a successful solo show in Amsterdam, Netherlands in
2000, and has also exhibited in Germany (2000), Great
Britain (2001, 2006), Singapore (2001, 2003, 2004,
2006), Japan (2005, 2007) and Indonesia (2009). He was awarded a residency at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan in 2005 and participated in the Fukuoka Triennale in the same year
and in the Jakarta Biennale in 2009 . Museum collections include Singapore Art Museum and Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. His paintings
have regularly sold at international auctions.
