Aroonkamon Thongmorn

Aroonkamon Thongmorn born in 1995, Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Aroonkamon holds BA and MA degrees in Visual Arts from The Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University, Bangkok. She lives and works in Nonthaburi, Thailand. Her artwork focuses on transforming discarded materials into 3D mixed-media forms, giving them new contexts. She incorporates industrial waste, utilizing its inherent structures and blending it with other media, letting the objects tell their own stories. Her sculptures merge intricate origami techniques with metal, highlighting materiality through intricate processes. This highlights the potential for humans to mitigate the impact of industrial production through slow craftsmanship. 

Aroonkamon has exhibited internationally at the Nordic Contemporary Art Center, Xiamen, China, as well as at the Treasure Hill Artist Village in Taipei, Taiwan. In Thailand her works have been shown at PSG Gallery, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and The Queen’s Gallery in Bangkok, Thailand, among others. Her works earned the Silver Medal in Multimedia at the 67th National Exhibition of Art in 2022, as well as two silver medals at the 2019 and 2020 Exhibitions of Contemporary Art by Young Artists.
