Odd mediums at the forefront
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 24/06/2015

From stuffed rats to geometric abstraction
Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 08/07/2015
» The works in “Synthesis”, on display at Chulalongkorn University’s The Art Center, are best enjoyed individually.

Trainwreck from top to bottom

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 21/01/2015
» Artist Pisitakun Kuantalaeng, 28, was once a Yellow Shirt. In less than a decade, Pisitakun went from a fervent supporter of anti-Thaksin politics and airport seizures to an artist who took to the streets after the junta seized power last May.
