Vasan Sitthiket  

 

 

 

     

 

Vasan Sitthiket was born in 1957 in Nakorn Sawan and studied at the College of Fine Art in Bangkok.  Some of his paintings are related to nature or to erotic motifs. However, most works address problems within the contemporary Thai society, such as the exploitation of the poor by the rich as well as the corruption among politicians and bureaucrats.  He uses several media to express his opinions on these subjects. Paintings, drawings, woodcut prints, installations and performances are some of the media used to put his ideas into practice.  In addition to numerous shows in Thailand, Vasan has participated in shows abroad in Japan (1989, 1990), Singapore (2000) Indonesia (2001), Korea (2003) and the Venice Biennale (Italy, 2003).  Vasan is a very active artist within Thai contemporary society. He has also staged three plays and is the author of more than ten books, including poetry, children’s books and political writings.
