Prasert Yodkaew

Born 1987, live and work in Bangkok, Thailand Prasert Yodkaew graduated from Silpakorn University Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts with BFA and MFA degrees. He is currently a Ph.D at Silpakorn University. In his work Yodkaew does not intend to provide answers for the audience; instead, he is looking to confront by employing paradox designs. That involves devices, creatures, and three-dimensional decompositions of traditional architecture mixed with biological specimens. In addition, in his practice, Yodkaew blends western engineering with Thai elements to generate a precarious balance between the two.

Yodkaew took part in the exchange programme "Bangkok-Quebec" 2017 at L'Oeil De Poisson Gallery in Quebec, Canada. He has had several solo exhibitions such as “Sciencefaith" 2011 at Projectspace Gallery in Luang Prabang/Laos, "Art Sanya" 2012 at Venue Art Sanya, Hainan/China, "How to get back to heaven" 2013 at Tang Contemporary Art, Beijing/China,“Predetermined” 2015 at Tang Contemporary Art, Bangkok/Thailand, ”Nightmare" 2018 at Vin Gallery, Saigon/Vietnam, "Asian Drums” 2019 at VT Art Salon Gallery in Taipei/Taiwan, and “Present/Absent” 2024 at Otto Studio 1975 in Toyama/Japan. His works have been exhibited in "Anthropos Navigating Human Depth" 2012 at Sundaram Tagore Gallery/ Singapore. Additionally, in 2013 he exhibited a sculpture installation at the cave exhibition “Metro- Sapiens” in Ratchaburi province, and in 2014 exhibited “Thai Charisma (Heritage+Creative Power) Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) in Bangkok/Thailand.
