Attasit Pokpong
Attasit Pokpong is considered one of the rising stars of Thailand’s contemporary art scene. Working in both watercolor and oil painting to depict portraits of Asian women, Pokpong often uses a contrast of pale colors for his subjects’ faces and dark ones for backgrounds, with vivid highlights for the lips and hair. His earlier work focused on city streets bustling with traffic, or pedestrians at the flower markets of his home country. Born on October 16, 1977 in Thailand, Pokpong studied art at the Rajchamongkol Institution in Bangkok. The artist continues to live and work in Bangkok, Thailand.
