Kant Kantawat, known as Mr Halfman, has his first solo exhibition at GalileOasis in Bangkok. Another Side by Another Side runs from until tomorrow, and features an art style that he describes as Cu(te)bism, a portmanteau of Cubism and ‘cute’.
Cu(te)bism is one of a handful of new isms created by Thai artists. Pan Pan Narkprasert’s 2011 Gagasmicism exhibition was inspired by Lady Gaga. (Pan Pan is now Thailand’s leading drag queen, Pangina Heals.) Noshpash Chaturongkagul’s exhibition Roboticlism From Unconscious Mind was held in 2016. Three young artists showed their work at the Neo Thaiism group exhibition in 2020. Patt Yingcharoen was part of the Errorism group exhibition in 2017.
