Jirapat tatsanasomboon biography template

 Jirapat Tatsanasomboon is a Thai artist who was born in 1971, Samut Prakan, Thailand. He currently lives and works in Chiang Mai. Jirapat developed a love for art in early childhood, often drawing and painting superheroes and pop culture icons, which proved a great influence in his later practice.

He went on to graduate from Chiang Mai University with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, and then attained his Master’s degree at Silpakorn University in Bangkok. Jirapat has gained international acclaim for his work, and was one of two artists exhibiting in Visions of East Asia for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

He is most widely known for his reconstructions of world-famous artworks, in which he substitutes the original subjects with both Western pop culture icons and Asian mythical and religious figures, challenging the artistic interactions between the East and the West.

It is incredibly exciting to have Jirapat as one of the contributing artists for the 2018 Secret Auction!
