OH+

OH+ is a Thai artist based in Munich, London, and Bangkok. Her art practice began at an early age, being influenced by the vibrant colours of Thailand's natural world and tropical weather. Often putting herself as the protagonist of her own story, she emphasises the contrasting tropical weather phenomena of her homeland to produce detailed and uniquely idiosyncratic characters formed by the environment around her. Her work is also influenced by the rich storehouse of traditional European painting. Her work seeks to address one of the prevalent issues of our time, interrogating the problems surrounding our endless exposure to social media and the idolised and unrealistic portrayal of the self that this often entails. OH+ said, "We can't avoid the eyes of camera lenses anymore, whether we like it or not. This phenomenon continues and cannot be hidden in our society."  

Oh's portraits express the anxiety, depression, fatigue, and endless exhaustions we experience as we are perpetually being surrounded by the numerous eyes of social media. Her use of vivid and fresh colours as well as delicate details such as in her tropical flowers and leaves, alludes to the visual niceties and trappings of social media and its popular appeal. More than anything it emphasises her passion for art practice, so self-evident in her rich visual offerings.

OH+ graduated from Silpakorn Art University in Bangkok.
