Aphisit Sidsunthia  

Aphisit Sidsunthia was born in 1994 in Bangkok, Thailand. He holds a master degree in Painting from the Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. His excellence in the medium has presented him with various awards including The 19th Panasonic Contemporary Painting Contest 2017 and The 18th Panasonic Contemporary Painting Contest 2016. In 2023, he was selected as one of the artists in residence at No Name Studio in Shanghai. 

Sidsunthia's work explores the interplay between visual representation and perception; societal norm and change; handicraft and technology. Much of his work references photographs and random images, representing the visual cultures of different times. Drawing inspirations from those images, his practice includes manipulating those images both manually and digitally by folding, collaging, removing and distorting. Referencing photographs from different time periods allows the overlapping and intersection of different ideologies. 

While his earlier work depicts combination of various events in forms of collages, his more recent work usually centers on a singular event. The dimensional complexity then shifts to the lines, colors and planes that are artistically manoeuvred to minimize or maximize certain perceptions. His work invites the audience to question the status quo through the overlaying of weirdly shaped planes, as if they were windows to different realities.
