Description +-
This artwork depicts the dire situation of enforced disappearance in Thailand with history tracing back to the 70s. Political activists were often labelled as "communists" and being tortured by means of burning in barrels or tires and throwing off the edge of cliffs, to name a few.
Meanwhile, the authority disguises themselves with the image of piety, as a virtuous person, wielding the power to lead the direction of the society. The legal system fails to search for evidence that proves the guilt in such serious violation of human rights, and the enforced disappearance continues to be used as a tool to silence and eliminate dissidents.
The stories of these missing persons have not been published until very recently. It is estimated that at least 85 people – including trade unionists and other human rights defenders, protesters and security suspects, have been subjected to unresolved enforced disappearances, according to Amnesty International.

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.
Donation +-
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.
