“Drawing is my journey” – PT

Since childhood, Pawnthep Chitphong or PT was enamoured with drawing. He started drawing his favourite comics and branched out as he went. Later on, he fell out of love with drawing, with other interests and needs taking priority.

At the age of 18, he resumed drawing while living with his family, who encouraged him to pursue photography in Bangkok. Pawnthep’s first collection, entitled “Time”, was exhibited in 1999 at Comme’ Restaurant.

In 2002, he turned his attention to abstract and figurative arts.

Today, he creates many abstract art pieces whilst pursuing photography in his spare time. However, he has maintained his street artist identity, consequently shaping him into the artist he is today.

Pawnthep Chitphong or PT was born in June 1976 in Supanburi, Thailand. He doesn’t have many memories of his hometown since he stayed there for only a while before came to study in Bangkok. During his time in Bangkok, he stayed with his relatives who opened a photo shop. While still hesitating about what to study, he assisted his relatives out, and he started learning photography from there.

Not long after that, he found out that he wanted to live his own life, so he left his relatives and started to live like a backpacker. During that time, Chitphong was drawing cartoons on postcards for sale until he was able to collect some money. This is when he realized he is passionate about painting. So he decided became a street artist, drawing postcards.

Chitphong was a self-taught artist. He didn’t study art directly. After he’d been selling his painted works, he thought of going to college to learn art in an academic way, but he found out that it was not for him. There was nothing to stop his talents. In 1999, he had his first solo exhibition “Time” at Comme Restaurant in Bangkok.

Chitphong began with a variety of painting styles influenced by Thai and foreign painters. In 2002, he turned his attention to abstract and figurative arts. Until now, he lives and work in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Today, he has created many abstract arts as well as photographing in his spare time. However, he still being street artist, which made him what he is now.
