Attasit Pokpong, Born in 1977, is considered one of the fast-rising stars of the Thai contemporary art scene, who is making his mark both in Thailand and throughout Asia.
With an impressive international resume of shows dating back to 2004, Attasit’s work has left a prominent mark on the Asian aesthetic.
His signature figures display a pop-art inspired approach to realistic portraiture; characterized by East Asian features and strong colored lips that contrast the blurred soft skin. Unforgettable eyes hide deep nuances beyond the surface.
He is a master of oil paintings, his skillful technique most evident in the delicate skin texture of his works.
After he graduated from art school, Attasit quickly established his reputation as popular artist with vibrant watercolor works.
Over the years he became inspired to move into a different direction; one that would lead to oil painting and the iconic faces his work has become known for.
His fascination with the face of the Sino-Asian woman, particularly the lips, coupled with the sharp technique of contrasting textures has evolved over the years into a prolific aesthetic.
The mood of his work is hauntingly seductive; porcelain-delicate skin harmoniously clashing with attention-seeking lips. They project the internal strength of the women through their mysterious eyes.
“The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.”
“Beyond a shadow” is his new series, which was created during a 3 months residency in Paris.
“Beyond a Shadow” is where the truth remains, where we can find the most clarity. The connotations of shadows and light often represent the element of bad and good, evil and holy; yet there relationship is dependent on the other or it cannot exist. We go nowhere without our shadow and our past follows us as well. While the light brings new beginnings and hope from receiving clarity.
Attasit’s new series calls to attention our feelings with our own thoughts on the dark and the light. It brings us to question the motivations of the figure and our own expectations of its beauty.
