sadam yoshizawa
Sadam Yoshizawa was born in 1979.
He searches for different images within himself from the ever-changing cityscape, the various images reflected on the street, and printed matter such as advertisements and posters.
He would like to use his own unique techniques to search for different images that emerge by continuing to add layers on top of the numerous traces he has left behind in his work.

The Enamel work engages our basic human nature visually and conceptually, visually the work can feel like human cells and neurons or parts of vast space, but as they are created a sense of space and land tends to take over as composition is formed , it is a basic human nature to occupy space it’s the one thing as humans we all do , but its up to us in how we do it.
Do we share space or fight for space? Do we occupy it peacefully or do we take it through force.
It can form a community where there is power in numbers where unity and harmony exist, OR it can be in conflict and destruction.

Wutigorn Kongka
Wutigorn Kongka is an artist known for his unique painting style focused on the human body, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek-Roman art, children's art, and abstract painting. His work blends these influences into surreal, dream-like compositions that convey both rawness and tenderness. Wutigorn’s innovative techniques seamlessly integrate multiple styles within a single piece, often using richly colored, opaque backgrounds. His art reflects a belief in the decaying yet majestic power of humanity. Throughout his career, he has received numerous national art awards and has transitioned from creating playful, freeform collages to focusing purely on painting. As an academic, Wutigorn has participated in major exhibitions like the Bangkok Art Biennale and curated a Retrospective of Tawee Ratchaneekorn at the BACC. He has held four solo painting exhibitions to date.

Lounys
Lounys originates from Paris, he is of Algerian and Berber descent. He is currently
based in Thailand, although used to live in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and
Europe. His art is voracious as his practice questions the very nature of survival in
its contemporary form. He studies the visual vernacular as his subject matter
references. Satirical cartoons while he augments politIcal and social personals
through his use of caricature. His influences stem from contemporary pop and
conceptual art movements. His primary technique is auto-matic-drawing,
reminiscent of surrealist explorations of the 1920s. He draws upon dreams, society,
unfiltered thoughts, and emotions as a process in his works. His primary subject
matter originates from traditional Berber Kabyles tattoo art whilst incorporating vivid
colors inspired by pop art aesthetics. Lounys is like his works: an electric painter
who is entirely committed to his painting.
