(b. 1978, Bangkok) Dusadee Huntrakul wants to send ready-to-communicate messages through his works. Previous works express poignantly expresses humanity’s desire to re-write the traumas of the past. He is inspired by anthropology and explores ethnography. The artist borrows from sources as diverse as primal or tribal as well as from contemporary art. His works gain symbolic meaning of the disintegrating the old into creating something new. Works’ media include sculpture, drawings as well as works on paper like collages. Dusadee’s most recent show was at Chan+Hori Gallery in Singapore. His works have been shown at Nichido Contemporary Art, Japan; Oakland Museum of California, USA, as well as at Osage Gallery, Hong Kong, Palais De Tokyo, Paris/France, Mori Art Museum and The National Art Center, Tokyo, Japan. He participated in the Singapore Biennale in 2013 and has exhibited at ICAS LaSalle in Singapore in 2015. Dusadee graduated with a Bachelor in Arts from UCLA in Los Angeles and Master of Fine Arts from the UC Berkeley in California, USA.
