Chalah Chaveesuk

Chalah Chaveesuk is an artist from Bangkok. He has been inspired by circumstances going on in living society, reinterpreting each story in a teasing way. Chaveesuk chose to do contemporary pop art as a medium to complement his concepts. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the faculty of Communication Art, Bangkok University and has obtained two master’s degrees from the United States of America consisting of Master of Arts in Studio Art from Morehead State University at Kentucky in 2003 and Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Ohio University at Ohio in 2007.

Chaveesuk has had 20 years of working in the art field and has now established his own studio as a tangible result of his creativity. 956 Contemporary art is open to view on the 3rd floor of River City Bangkok, the studio presents his current artworks and some ongoing projects as well.

Concept

He has started to incorporate abstract styles into his work, implementing them along with his distinct technique in colors. “From the first step of the process to the last step, I have no idea what the results will look like. I follow the flow of paintbrush and let my emotions take over. Sometimes the starting point is completely different from the end result and that is the beauty of abstract art for me,” Chalah states. The artist involves meditation within his work process — revealing that it helps calm his mind and relax his body, which would enable him to produce better art. His work is mostly up to interpretation — “Some view it as ocean waves, some see just a pop of colour while some see the bigger picture and admire the overall beauty. Everyone is different therefore meanings will obviously vary,” Chalah comments on his concept.

Many may think that meditation is just a part of his routine before diving into his creative process, but it actually became a measure of his satisfaction. “Comparing the feeling of making the work and viewing it to my mind in meditation can make me know whether my art is good enough. I want my audience to feel calm and relaxed, yet happy and content,” The artist elaborates.
