(b. 1997)
Puntita Meeboonsabai9s distinctive artistic style blends fantasy,
surrealism, and self-exploration into richly layered compositions.
Her paintings often unfold like dreamscapes4dense with meaning
and emotion4where architectural forms, animals, and symbolic
objects orbit around a central female figure. This figure, frequently
a self-portrait, serves as both protagonist and portal, allowing the
artist to navigate imagined realities and internal states of being.
Drawing from her passions, memories, and subconscious, Puntita9s
style is characterized by meticulous detail, bold color palettes,
and a fluid blending of the magical with the familiar. Her work
embraces the essence of fantasy art, where logic is suspended, and emotional truth takes precedence. Rather than simply
illustrating surreal visions, she uses fantasy as a means of personal
agency4placing herself within each scene to inhabit multiple
roles and narratives that might not be possible in everyday life.
The result is a visual language that is intimate yet expansive4a
celebration of imagination, identity, and the limitless potential of
artistic storytelling.

Rirkrit Tiravanija integrates human interaction as an essential
element in his artistic practice, redefining the relationship between
art and everyday life. His participatory works, rooted in the concept
of Relational Aesthetics, challenge conventional notions of art by
transforming passive spectators into active participants. Rather
than presenting a definitive message or singular interpretation,
his creations serve as open-ended invitations for engagement,
dialogue, and shared experience.
Best known for his immersive installations that revolve around
personal and shared communal traditions, such as cooking
Thai meals, Rirkrit fosters connections that dissolve boundaries
between artist and audience. His work in the 1990s played
a pivotal role in shifting avant-garde art away from traditional
objects and toward socially engaged practices, emphasizing
interaction over materiality.
While his artistic output resists classification, Rirkrit aptly describes
it as
