ORAWAN ARUNRAK
b. 1985, ThailandLives and works in Bangkok and Berlin Orawan Arunrak's artwork – largely inspired by her everyday life – encompasses diverse forms such as drawing, painting, and installation, employing tools like pencils, pens, paper, but also photography and the internet. Her practice meticulously engages with local communities, endeavouring to dissolve boundaries between conventional art and non-art spaces.
She navigates through multifaceted terrains of national, cultural, and spiritual identities, crafting pieces that reflect both similarities and divergences of her domiciles in Asia and Europe. Each work transcends visual representation, embodying dialogues and narratives that explore the complex relationships and stories entwined with each unique location and culture, offering viewers insights into the interplay of art, identity, and geography inherent in her oeuvre.
