5 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this August 2024
‘PLANETARY SEED‘ by Wit Pimkanchanapong x Living Room for Seed.
Planetary Seed, a purose-built maze conceived by Wit Pimkanchanapong x Living Room for Seed takes inspiration from Pimkanchanapong’s encounter with a traditional Karen maze in Kanchanaburi. This encounter led to the creation of an electronically engineered labyrinth within the 100 Tonson Foundation art space.
Entering Planetary Speed, guests navigate a path defined by numerous white wall panels suspended from the ceiling. At random intervals, a buzzer sounds, prompting visitors to move to designated safety spots. These zones are crucial as the wall partitions mechanically shift up and down, continuously refiguring the maze’s pathways. Planetary Speed explores themes inspired by the myth of Vessantara Jataka, the Zen concept of meditation and present-moment awareness. As time progresses, the exhibition will evolve incorporating video, sound, photography to fully explore the art of movement, change and the fluidity of perception.
This exhibition runs until November 24, 2024 at the 100 Tonson Foundation.
Joyman Gallery presents ‘PERPLEXA SCENARIO’ and ‘FUTURE DRAMATIC’
Joyman Gallery showcases two engaging exhibitions. The ground floor features Perplexa Scenario, a group exhibition where surreal and dreamlike scenes come to life through paintings, sculptures, and installations by 14 artists. Among these are four international talents from Japan, Canada, Indonesia, and the USA, alongside 10 Thai artists including Niam Mawornkanong.
Additionally, the main floor hosts a mini-solo exhibition Hide and Seek by Russian artist Ellen Sheidlin, which complements the surreal themes of Perplexa Scenario. On the second floor, Thai artist Tat Nattee’s solo exhibition Future Dramatic, features over 20 canvases in a retro-futuristic style depicting young characters in high-tech virtual reality scenarios.
Both exhibitions run until September 8, 2024 at Joyman Gallery.
‘MISFITS‘ by Ploenchan (Mook) Vinyaratn
MOCA Bangkok and Four Seasons Hotel present Misfit, an exhibition curated by Kit Bencharongkul. The exhibition displays Mook’s journey as a textile artist known for her innovative commercial woven designs. Often feeling like an outsider, despite her success, the exhibition narrates her story navigating societal and cultural expectations.
Mook’s journey spans from a Catholic primary school to boarding school in England, university at Central Saint Martins, and time with hill tribes in Northern Thailand. Her use of up-cycled materials aligns with the eco-conscious art movement, intending to challenge the disposable natural of consumer culture. Misfit is a cathartic celebration of individuality and an artist’s desire to impact the world, reminding spectators that original creations often emerge from the margins, by those who dare to be different.
The exhibition runs until October 13, 2024, at the Four Seasons ART Space by MOCA Bangkok.
RCB Galleria presents ‘DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE’
RCB Galleria invites guests to explore the enchanting world of Alice in Wonderland reimagined through the eyes of twelve artists from Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand. This group exhibition features artists from ABAO and ANO to Zito Hsu, each interpreting the metaphor of ‘falling down the rabbit hole’ as a pivotal moment in their lives.
Alice in Wonderland opened the door to a world of endless imagination, seen through the curious eyes of Alice, who inadvertently tumbles into a rabbit hole. Inspired by the whimsical and unexpected turns in Alice’s life, this exhibition beautifully adapts these elements into its concept and title, inviting guests to explore the unforeseen twists of fate. Exploring themes of growth, confronting fears, and encountering the unfamiliar, this exhibition features a collective of distinct characters and personal stories.
Down the Rabbit Hole runs until 5 September, 2024 at RCB Galleria, River City Bangkok.
‘COSMIC DUST‘ by Mamablues
Trendy Gallery presents Cosmic Dust, an art exhibition by Mamablues. Mamablues, a Thai-born artist, believes in the power of being in the right place at the right time and the potential of possibilities. Her work reflects a self-created universe which embraces ambiguity and intrigue. Using a predominantly grayscale palette, she employs clear forms of colour, light, and proportions to narrate her stories, reflecting her identity without adhering to a rigid style.
This exhibition seeks to explore the beauty of small, seemingly insignificant details coming together at the right time – a perfect moment which she captures.
Cosmic Dust runs until October 13, 2024, at The Trendy Gallery, River City Bangkok.
5 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this July 2024
‘SANCTUARY WITHIN’ by Jarupatcha Achavasmit
The Peninsula Bangkok presents Sanctuary Within, a solo exhibition by Thai textile virtuoso Jarupatcha Achavasmit. As part of the celebrated global art program ‘Art in Resonance,’ Jarupatcha has been in residency at the hotel since April, working in her 23rd-floor studio to create mesmerising new pieces.
Each piece in Sanctuary Within incorporates recycled materials, challenging viewers to rethink the concepts of waste and value. Plush hotel linens with stains or tears are coloured using vegetable dyes and torn into strips, then reassembled with an English-style hand loom into vibrant fabrics that will hang in the entrance foyer. Aluminium amenity tubes are cleaned, cut into tiny strips, and transformed into metallic, leaf-like installations for the lobby restaurant. Shredded office paper is recycled into large rolls of parchment, adorned with Jarupatcha’s free-flowing designs.
The exhibition runs from July 9 to August 31, 2024, at The Peninsula Bangkok.
‘PHOTOGRAPHY NEVER LIES’ by Six Thai and Seven International Photographers
The 7th floor exhibition space at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is showcasing the compelling works of six Thai and seven international photographers. This highly recommended exhibition, ironically titled Photography Never Lies, thoughtfully challenges the belief that photography is the most straightforward tool for reflecting reality.
Highlighting the complexities of the photographic process, from developing negatives to the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and technology, the exhibition questions the truthfulness of the images we see. Some photographers have embraced these high-tech advancements, while others remain dedicated to traditional photographic techniques.
The show features a diverse array of styles and approaches, from the blurred monk images by Thailand’s Manit Sriwanichpoom to the stylised vintage-looking black and white stills by Germany’s Boris Eldagsen, and the haunting compositions of Chinese photographer Leslie Shang Zhefeng. This fascinating group exhibition offers plenty for visitors to explore and ponder.
Photography Never Lies is on display at BACC until September 8, 2024
‘A COLD DAY IN JULY’ by Art Jeeno
River City Bangkok is hosting A Cold Day in July, the first solo exhibition in seven years by the celebrated artist Art Jeeno. A three-time winner of the prestigious Japan International Manga Award, Art Jeeno expertly translates the delicate and fragile essence of human emotions onto canvas, eliciting a profound and heartfelt response from viewers.
In this exhibition, Art Jeeno blends his signature manga-style storytelling with oil canvas to narrate tales of impossibility. Through the characters “He/Him” and “She/Her,” who exist in the same world yet differ in every dimension, the artist explores themes of contrast and divergence with profound artistic insight.
A Cold Day in July runs from 18 July to 18 August 2024, at the RCB Photographers’ Gallery, 2nd floor, River City Bangkok.
‘WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS’ by Tum Ulit
River City Bangkok proudly presents Who’s Cutting Onions, the debut solo exhibition by Tum Ulit, an artist, cartoonist, and storyteller known for capturing loneliness, sorrow, and profound emotions through his poignant illustrations. These works resonate deeply, speaking directly to the hearts of millions worldwide.
The exhibition’s title, Who’s Cutting Onions? originates from an idiom often used in delicate moments when articulating true sentiments proves challenging. It encapsulates those times when our hearts yearn to shield the profound reasons behind tears too agonising to comfort. Vulnerability becomes the final frontier we hesitate to unveil. In such moments, we seek solace in whimsical excuses, suggesting that these tears stem not from the sorrow within our souls, but from the overpowering presence of unseen onions.
Who’s Cutting Onions is open from 13 July to 25 August 2024, at RCB Galleria 1, 2nd floor, River City Bangkok.
‘HAPPINESS IS NOW’ by Pomme Chan
Rosewood Bangkok is celebrating the vibrant creativity and modern design spirit of the city with a new art exhibition, Happiness is Now, featuring renowned artist Pomme Chan. This exhibition, part of the ultra-luxury hotel’s quarterly rotating series showcasing local and international artists, is open at The Gallery on the 3rd floor until 30 September 2024.
Happiness is Now invites attendees to explore the essence of happiness through a series of deeply personal artworks by Pomme Chan. Using oil pastels for their simplicity and expressive capability, Chan presents an introspective collection that offers a unique perspective on the everyday moments and profound insights that define our sense of joy.
The exhibition stems from Chan’s period of reflection and research into what it means to be truly happy. Through her interactions and self-exploration, she discovered that happiness is a personal journey that can be as simple as enjoying a sunset or as intimate as a hug from a loved one. This exhibition brings these discoveries to life, inviting viewers to contemplate what brings them joy and to recognise the beauty in both the mundane and the monumental.
Happiness is Now at The Gallery on the 3rd floor of Rosewood Bangkok is open to the public until 30 September 2024.
5 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this June 2024
‘I Am Fine!’ by ten Thai artists
For the first time ever, ten Thai artists meet in one space to showcase their dreams through an exhibition they curated together. Each artist is presenting their own collection using their preferred medium — no overarching theme, just purely how each wants to tell their story to the world. Apart from the art pieces, they’re telling their own stories through heartfelt letters in both Thai and English.
The exhibition is on show at River City Bangkok until June 23, 2024. The artists include Prateep Kochabua, Watchara Klakhakhai, Daeng Buasan, Tetat Tanachoktaweporn, Chainarong Kongklin, Jongjit Moolmat, Kiatanan Iamchan, Anchalee Arayapongpanit, Off Smith, and Wisanupong Noonan.
‘nostalgia by unity’ by Korakrit Arunanondchai
Silence is loud, and there are things that can be seen in its absence. Korakrit Arunanondchai works with negative space to bring those notions into perspective. Seeing that the Thai Wattana Panich caught fire in 2001, he envisioned the building to be a canvas that decays with time, so he used the building as a medium to convey messages of birth, death, beginning, decay, and more. With words edged into surfaces, it is as if the walls have become a symbol of resilience and survival.
This exhibition is on display at Bangkok Kunsthalle until 31 October.
‘The Way We Were’ by 31 artists
From Thailand to Denmark, ‘The Way We Were’ is a group exhibition by 31 artists from all over the world. No matter which medium, what style, or how you prefer your brushstrokes to be, art is one universal language. No running theme, no recurring style — just a group of friends who made art their common link, and the reason they found each other.
The artists include Kuan Yu, Huang, Chris Sedlaczek, Dominique Fontaine, Kris Surajaroenjai, Jirarot Sriyaphan, Chatchawan Rodklongtan, Achiravit Samart, Thawatchai Homthong, TETAT, Narissara Komsuphom, Naiyasit Wongkliawrian, Nipon Jungkina, Narupon Chutiwansopon, Pratheep Kochaboa, Palang Palamart, Palut Marod, Chaiyan Chong Chongprasoet, Maitree Homthong, Ratchaphon Konchanaphong, Watchara Klakhakhai, Widsanupong Noonan, Suparuedee Maneechun, Srisilp Emcharoen, Suporn Keawda, Anuwat Sirirattanajit, Anchana Nangkala, Aukrawut Rojakkanawut, Wachiravit Samart, Isara Thaothong, Niels Damsgaard Hansen, Lulu Thuesen.

Under the theme of “Blood Sweat Tears and Ink,” four artists tell their own story from the days just starting out, wondering where their art could grow to be, to the recent days where they have found a community through art and allowed their styles to evolve with time. This exhibition offers a wide range of media for the artists to showcase their works, from brushwork on canvas, to cards and sculptures. The highlight is a comic book made by all four artists, making its debut at this exhibition.
This exhibition is on display at River City Bangkok from 8-30 June, 2024.
6 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this May 2024
‘Bangkok 3024’ by Daniel Arsham
The New York-born artist, Daniel Arsham, is invited to the grand event of the 10th anniversary celebration of Central Embassy. As a city that’s looking towards the future but is always thinking about the past, Bangkok has inspired Arsham in his presentation of Bangkok in 1,000 years from now. Arsham, renowned as a ‘material alchemist’, welcomes guests to his immersive showcase of the Excavation Walls, Lunar Garden, and five other signature eroded sculptures.
The exhibition is on show at Central Embassy, Level G and 1 until July 14, 2024.
‘Ayudhaya 2023’ by Manit Sriwanichpoom
Reflecting on the problematic social justice system and the erosion of morals, ‘Ayudhaya 2023’ pairs together Thailand’s political landscape with Buddha statue remnants from a bygone era. The broken Buddha statues were once found near Mahathat Temple in Ayutthaya, and were pieced together later on. Sriwanichpoom takes this theme of violence and despair onto the canvas, where current day turmoil meets with the shattering times of the previous century.
The exhibition is on show at ATTA Gallery until June 16, 2024.
‘Take Flight to the Beyond’ by Yaipoeng and Naipran
Although dubbed as a solo exhibition, Yaipoeng and Naipran are sibling artists. Yaipoeng takes the work of her talented brother, Naipran, who was born with autism, and morphs it into beautiful, child-like pieces of art. The collaboration between the duo is an expression of Naipran’s desire to travel and take flight, taking shape as paintings, home décor items, sculptures, and ceramics.
The exhibition is on show at ATT 19 until June 16, 2024.
‘Nomadic’ Curated by Dr. Vennes Cheng
A group exhibition curated by Hong Kong’s scholar Dr. Vennes Cheng brings together nine Asian artists to converse around the fluid identity and the multitude of homelands.

The exhibition is on show at The Jim Thompson Art Center until June 2, 2024. The artists include Hikaru Fujii, Jiandyin, Law Yuk Mui, Lin Yichi, Sim Chi Yin, Tsang Kin-Wah, Tsao Liang-pin, and Tintin Wulia.
‘Not Only Nature: Between Transformation and Coexistence’ by Sandy Bekker and Isa Pengskul
Now showing at this relatively new gallery in Yaowarat is an exhibition that asks for the boundaries between humans and nature. By converting waste and incorporating natural elements, ‘Not Only Nature’ portrays a unique narrative on human relationships, impact, and roles towards nature. The idea is that we are just the threads in the expansive fabric of nature.
The exhibition is on show at Aether Gallery between May 11-June 9, 2024.
‘Parallel’ by Ponpon Preechanon
‘Parallel’ explores the possibilities of a paralleled world that may exist beyond our imaginations. There are many theories that suggest different scenarios, whether it be a world with advanced technological development, another identity for yourself, or a world with strange creatures with high emotional intelligence. Very curious.
The exhibition is on show at 333 Gallery between May 11-31, 2024.
4 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this April 2024
‘Illusion of Stability’ by Wal
Wal’s collection of 30 oil paintings accumulated over the past five years are all centred on one topic: stability. One of the basic needs of human beings is undeniably emotional security. Because we’re all actively seeking to anchor our soul onto something, whether it be religions, wealth, status, or institutions, Wal conveys this emptiness and insecurity through powerful symbolism in his inaugural solo exhibition.
The exhibition is on show at RCB Galleria, River City Bangkok until APRIL 23, 2024.
‘The Visitors’ by Giacomo de Pass
Giacomo de Pass is a renowned French painter and sculptor who had the chance to spend time in Koh Samui during the pandemic lockdown. Now at 85 years old, Giacomo presents his solo exhibition of 31 vibrant gouache and mixed media works created in Thailand between 2021 and 2022. Bizarre creatures, recognisable cartoon characters, and Thai mythical characters exist side by side as the artist depicts the clash of cultures during his time as a visitor in Thailand.
The exhibition is on show at SAC Gallery until May 4, 2024.
‘Timeless Muse’ by MRKREME
The Kooky World that MRKREME creates houses six furry monsters, all of whom bear different responsibilities. His first solo exhibition takes viewers into a whimsical realm that encapsulates the 1970-1980s, into the mystery of time that means more than just numbers on the clock. A riddle of time awaits for everyone to solve.
The exhibition is on show at RCB Photographers’ Gallery, River City Bangkok until April 28, 2024.
‘Longevity: an Abstract Conversation’
‘Ars longa, vita brevis,’ is the main idea behind the exhibition by 11 talented female artists. The short lifespan of humans is always a topic of discussion, and although lifespans in Thailand have increased in current times, this isn’t directly correlated to happiness. The artists look into the concept of longevity through art, expressing the twists and turns with both vibrant and subtle shades.
The exhibition is on show at Four Seasons Art Space by MOCA Bangkok until June 30, 2024. The artists are Aimi Kaiya, Baisri, BeChanida, Chayanich Muangthai, Duenchayphoochana Phooprasert, Jiratchaya Pripwai, Ketkarn Damrongwattanapokin, MM.

7 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this March 2024
‘Feast’ by Natalie Savage
British artist Natalie Savage explores what food symbolises across societies around the world through her signature style of vividly coloured artworks. ‘Feast’ is a collection of global portraits of the role dining take in a human’s life, and how it may also vary among distinct cultures. Her works point out the ordinary ritual we may take for granted, and emphasise the infectious joy and synergy fostered on shared tables.
The exhibition is on show at Supples until April 7, 2024.
‘The Fictional Truth’ by Aitoy
Raised in a Buddhist family in a Muslim neighbourhood, Aitoy ended up going to a Catholic school when he was young. ‘The Fictional Truth’ refers to the belief systems and myths he has encountered throughout his life, all of which he calls man-made fictions or his own fictional truth. The dramatic paintings are influenced by legendary figures of fantasy art and the comic world, Frank Frazetta and Frank Miller, and are reminiscent of the Soviet propaganda era.
The exhibition is on show at Joyman Gallery until April 28, 2024.
‘Red Earth & Green Papaya’ by Nino Sarabutra
This multimedia exhibition brings elements from Northeast Thailand into the limelight. Reflecting on the artist’s own hometown in Ubon Ratchathani, the exhibition features the ‘red earth’ or the soil that nurtures Isaan’s agricultural activities, and the ‘green papaya’ which is the main ingredient in making som tum. The mortar and pestle is also an iconic symbol of the region. These elements are translated into paintings, prints, 3D shows, and fabric tote bags.
The exhibition is on show at Ardel’s Third Place Gallery until March 30, 2024.
‘….With A Time Capsule’ by Chanathip Chuenburong, Toon Kaewkird, and Napol Isaracheewa
Art exhibitions in Bangkok see a wide array of mediums, but wood sculptures are certainly one of the more under-appreciated artforms. ‘….With A Time Capsule” is a collection of memories by three artisans, Chanathip Chuenburong, Toon Kaewkird, and Napol Isaracheewa, who are translating special moments throughout their lives, carved into wood. As they portray their experiences and childhood memories into their work, it has turned the exhibition into a sort of time capsule, a medium of communication that can be used to look back and reminisce.
The exhibition is on show at Central: The Original Store until 17 March. You can find more information via their website.
‘Somewhere Only We Know’ by Art of Hongtae
‘Somewhere Only We Know’ takes you on an adventure to a magical, unknown realm that will make you feel a bit of everything. With citizens of the realm being cloud tufts with no faces, it can feel like a dream, somewhat rooted in reality. It can be warm and relaxing, but at the same time feels lonely and disconnected — like laying back in a field, looking at the sky, and thinking what those clouds are shaped like. This solo exhibition marks the debut of the highly talented artist, ‘Hongtae’ Konthorn Taecholarn, also known as ‘Art of Hongtae.’
The exhibition is on display from 15 March – 21 April 2024 at at RCB Galleria 4, 2nd floor, River City Bangkok. You can find more information via the website.
‘Chalotte’s Castle’ by Mackcha
Step into Queen Chalotte’s magical castle, located in a beautiful kingdom under the sea. If you want to feel the fantasy and be transported to another world, the artist is doing exactly that as she transforms the venue into a castle interior. You’ll walk through hallways, the living room, quarters, a throne room, and feel the underwater opulence Queen Chalotte sees on the daily. ‘Chalotte’s Castle’ is the second solo exhibition by Mackcha (Chararat Saraaporn).
The exhibition is on show until 28 April at Trendy Gallery, River City Bangkok. You can find more information via the website.
‘Ghidorah’ by LOBOBOY EB and JOKER EB
One of the titan monsters, Ghidorah is hailed as the God of Destruction, having only lost to Godzilla in a tight battle. The three-headed winged creature has the power to obliterate cities in the blink of an eye, and is capable of immense regeneration. Artists LOBOBOY EB and JOKER EB are inspired by this godly being, harnessing their destructive power into art, with a statue of the Ghidorah (not to scale) as the star of the exhibition.
The exhibition is on display until 31 March. You can find more information via the website.
5 Art Exhibitions to Check Out in Bangkok this February 2024
‘The Divine Earth’ by Zou Jianping
‘The Divine Earth’ is an exhibition in recognition of the influential artist of China, Zou Jianping.

‘Apopheniac’ by Cedric Arnold
‘Apopheniac’ is derived from the word ‘apophenia,’ which means the tendency to perceive connections between unrelated things. Cedric Arnold points out our attempt to fuse seemingly unrelated moments together whenever we’re desperate for meaning in life. While this attempt usually blurs the line between reality and fiction, it’s a necessary mechanism to cope with life. Through the display of negatives from his earlier years as a photojournalist, Arnold explores this concept along with viewers.
The exhibition is on show at West Eden until March 31, 2024. Find out more via the website.
‘Orbit’ by Sajja Sajjakul

‘A House Without a Roof’ by Jedsada Tangtrakulwong and Vacharanont Sinvaravatn

On the other side, Sinvaravatn’s road trips between Bangkok and rural Thailand inspire surreal landscape paintings that explore the theme of belonging and identity construction amid a natural environment.
The exhibition is on show at Nova Contemporary until March 14, 2024. Find out more via the website.
‘No Wall’ by Wisit Techasirikosol
‘No Wall’ unfurls from Techasirikosol’s journeys around the walls in which he observes the purposes they carry.

These walls, among other roles they take on, are also a testament of labour, sweat, and countless deaths throughout history.
The exhibition is on show at River City Bangkok until February 25, 2024. Find out more via the website.
