About the Artist
Nakrob Moonmanas (b.1990) is a visual artist based in Bangkok, primarily working with Thai literature and history as well as their discourse and relations to the global narrative.

His focus centers on exploring memories of Thai visual arts and cultures through the process of collage, as he endeavors to unveil and question them in various forms and dimensions. Infused with a contemporary aesthetic, the juxtaposition of local and exotic fragments creates an alternative chronicle, prompting a reexamination of the past.
