Chitphong created this work under a feeling of fear and anxiety about living caused by the situation of the disease outbreak.

“Drawing is my journey” – PT

Pawnthep Chitphong, or PT, has loved sketching since he was a youngster. He began by sketching his favorite comics and gradually expanded. Later on, he fell out of love with drawing, with other interests and needs taking priority.

At the age of 18, he began to draw again whilst living with his relatives, who supported him to study 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. He has, however, maintained his street artist identity which has shaped him into the artist he is today.

Description

The REBIRTH Series inspiration

This artwork is in the Rebirth series, which was created during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was inspired by the world after Covid-19 and how to survive. Chitphong created this work under a feeling of fear and anxiety about living caused by the situation of the disease outbreak. Future uncertainties remind him of the power of the sun shining brightly into his heart. It made him think of the blooming of sunflowers. This has inspired and empowered Chitphong himself despite being covered by the dark conditions.

Pawnthep Chitphong or PT was born in June 1976 in Suphanburi, 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 helped 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 started to realize that his proficiency is painting. So he decided to become 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 started with various style of paintings which were influenced by Thai and foreign artists. 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.
