About the work

The works are created using a mix of acrylic and human hair applied several times on the canvas. Here, the use of graphite is in addition to the hair, used to draw over the marks left by the hair creating a free flow of lines and empty spaces that run throughout the surfaces. In between those spaces the nets of remaining hair generate unpredictable organic forms – fish, flowers or, indeed, plankton – with such intricacy that evoke iridescent embroideries. In fact, as we move around the canvases, we are able to perceive new forms and details shining through the surface as if observing a stream of water.

Imhathai Suwatthanasilp
Imhathai Suwatthanasilp
Bangkok · b. unknown

Imhathai Suwatthanasilp is an internationally known artist, in particular for her use of human hair as the main material to create her artworks. She relates hair to the human experience through works that are tactile and emotive, posing existential questions to the audience. As such, Imhathai’s works explore notions of gender equality, life, death, violence, morality, and spiritual and beliefs systems especially in relation to Thai society. Responding to ongoing social concerns, Imhathai’s recent works expand to environmental issues that emphasise our individual participation and responsibility towards how we care for the nature surrounding us.
