Orawan Arunrak

Thailand/Germany
1985

Orawan Arunrak was born in 1985 in Bangkok (Thailand), where she later studied Fine Art and Printmaking. Arunrak’s work is largely inspired by her everyday life. Using tools like pencils, pens, paper, but also photography and the internet, she creates works that take the forms of drawing, painting and installation. Her practice is aimed at engaging in dialogue with local inhabitants in an attempt to merge the space of art and non-art. Repeatedly crossing national, cultural and spiritual borders, Arunrak’s work has examined likeness and difference within and between varied locations in both Asia and Europe, where she has lived in recent years, and based on relationships she has with these places. Arunrak’s work has been exhibited in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. She participated in residencies in Thailand, Vietnam and Berlin (Germany).
