Mission completed Sir!!

The artwork depicts a government officer in a virtue mask, who represents the authoritarian government using propaganda to mask its ability to tackle to political instability and the social and economical crisis brought by COVID-19.

The bats flying around, the superficial halo and the wildfire at the backdrop unfolds a dire calamity which contrasts the stark difference between the reality and the "masked" propaganda.

Loboboy

The powerful narrative in Loboboy’s works come through the canvas, full of actions and symbolism that evoke further examination and reactions from the viewers. He combines various creative techniques, such as traditional painting and spray painting in public areas, to communicate issues and ideas pertaining to social movements, such as questioning of political power and environmental issues.

By employing the style reminiscent of spray-paint graffiti street art, the artist makes a direct reference to the nature of protest in his works. His street art addresses the recent development in Thailand’s political environment, representing an unyielding social commentary through powerful imagery. The iconic motif is often a dreamscape with nightmarish characters undertaking grandiose actions of cruelty against faceless victims. Sin and Spirituality coexist in the surreal land under the artist’s paintbrush, reflecting the real world humanitarian consequences that are deep and dire.

Loboboy is a lecturer in the Department of Painting in Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University, Bangkok. His recent activism works were featured in an exhibition with WTF Gallery in Bangkok.

Based on our agreement with the artist, 20% of the pre-VAT price excluding frames will be donated to support the social movement. Donation will be given to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.
