Supawich Weesapen is at the forefront of a new generation of artists exploring the enduring relevance of technical skills in today’s hyper-digital environments. He works with oil on canvas, making vividly hued images using the RGB colour mode, which is usually used for digital screen displays. He also writes poetry in English and Thai, to explore the philosophical, sublime and metaphorical possibilities that his paintings propose.
