Aracha Cholitgul

Biography
b.1988, Bangkok, Thailand
Lives and works in Koh Phangan, Thailand 

In her wide-ranging practice of drawing, painting, installation, and writing, Cholitgul  constantly attempts to translate obscurity and uncertainty into visual form. Diagnosed with severe myopia and astigmatism as a child, the blurring of perception has long been a lived experience for the artist. Her oeuvre has since been defined by enigmatic ambivalence, depicting and challenging the ways humans see and perceive. Distorted landscapes, objects and characters, almost Surrealist in their whimsical fragmentation, reoccur throughout Cholitgul's imagery. Her works exist in realms of the liminal, defining ambiguity through the composite and eccentric, and travelling through the mental and spatial. Recent exhibitions include murmur, ROH Projects, Jakarta (2023); CURRENT, UP Vargas Museum, Manila (2022); and The Study of A Long Distance Relationship, Nova Contemporary, Bangkok (2021).
