Thanat Singhirunnusorn

BIO

Thanat Singhirunnusorn’s practice combines traditional Thai and modern culture. Singhirunnusorn investigates topics within popular culture that they grew up around and discovers the differences and similarities in relation to traditional Thai culture in an attempt to merge the two themes. Singhirunnusorn works with common and easy-to-access materials, such as cardboard, to replicate traditional materials and create work inspired by ideas and beliefs from Thai art history, combined with values and ideas from popular culture, such as sports. Out of a love for popular culture and a willingness to honor their heritage, Singhirunnusorn hopes to create a distorted sense of value by pulling from various subjects. Singhirunnusorn aims to create work as a part of tomorrow's makers while using tradition as a jumping point.
