Supawich Weesapen

b. 1997, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. Lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand.

​

Supawich Weesapen received his BFA in Painting from Silpakorn University. His work merges natural, mythical, and nowaday realms, exploring the spiritual and sublime within our relationship to the surrounding environment. Through oil painting and mixed-media sculpture, he gives form to infinite and amorphous auras by using traditional oil techniques, playing with opacity, saturation, and chiaroscuro, while also transforming traditional crafts into sculptural forms that resonate with the present. Drawing from age-old lenses such as mythology, belief, and oral lore, Weesapen blends ancient perspectives with a contemporary lens to uncover the entanglements between outer landscapes and inner worlds, offering fresh perspectives on contemporary existence and connection.

​

Recent exhibitions include Bangkok Art Biennale (2024); In saying these things, I went to sleep, Nova Contemporary (2024); Made in the Dark, Clearing Gallery, (2023); The Comet and the Nostalgic Souls, Nova Contemporary (2023); All is Prettier.
