Working across photography and installation, Bangkok-based artist Naraphat Sakarthornsap (b. 1991, Bangkok, Thailand) utilises extensive research of flora, devising a symbolic visual language to address societal issues of inequality. His work spans topics from gender biases to class, economic, and political power struggles in Southeast Asia. Delicate and ephemeral, the dramatic scenes in his images are made seductively alluring by the heightened gloss and saturation, creating tension between the surface and the subject, and notably capturing the artist’s visceral responses to challenging realities.

A graduate from Chulalongkorn University, Sakarthornsap’s recent solo exhibitions include: A Hopeless Hope (Art SG, Singapore, 2025); Curren(t)cy Affair (Basel Social Club, Switzerland, 2025); and Yummy Rose (Hub of Photography, Bangkok, 2024). Notable group exhibitions include: Threading: Contemporary Art of Thailand (Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, USA, 2025); THEM (ISA Art Gallery, Jakarta, 2024); Doxa & Episteme (Mizuma Gallery, Singapore, 2024); Retrograde (Galerie du Monde, Hong Kong, 2022); Bandung Photography Triennale (Indonesia, 2022); Queer Festival Heidelberg (Germany, 2021); Spectrosynthesis II (Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and Sunpride Foundation, 2019); among others.

Sakarthornsap is an artist-in-residence at Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, France (2022), and is a recipient of the Debra Porch Residency Award (2024) and Young Thai Artist Award (2016). His works are in the collections of the Sunpride Foundation, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and Soho House Bangkok.
