Vasan Sitthiket
Vasan Sitthiket, the self-proclaimed anarchist, studied at the College of Fine Art in Bangkok and is one of the country’s most politically engaged artists. Born in 1957, Sitthiket continuously addresses issues in contemporary Thai and international societies, including themes such as the pervasive exploitation of the poor and the increasing corruption of state and bureaucracy. Not limiting himself to any medium, the talented artist produces drawings, woodcuts, and installations as well as performances. Additionally, he is the author of more than ten books and has developed three plays. Often referred to as the ‘enfant terrible of Thai art’, the internationally renowned artist uses his abilities to actively point out the hypocrisy of modern society. Sitthiket counts among the country’s most confrontational artists and his manifold forms of expression make it difficult to categorize him. His works can be inspected up close at the New York Museum of Modern Art, Thailand’s National Art Gallery and the Singapore Art Museum. He was awarded the Silpathon Award by the Thai Ministry of Culture in 2007.

Vasan Sitthiket (Thai: วสันต์ สิทธิเขตต์; rtgs: Wasan Sitthikhet; born on October 7, 1957 in Nakhon Sawan Province, Thailand) is a Thai contemporary visual artist. A graduate of the College of Fine Art in Bangkok, he has works in many fields, including painting and poetry. He has staged three plays, written more than 10 books of poetry, children’s books and political writings. Works
Active since the 1970s, Vasan's works are often provocative and political in nature. One of his works was a performance art piece, involving fake rubber breasts and buttocks and a simulated rape of the entire nation of Thailand.In 2000, an exhibition of a new collection that included 50 paintings featuring Thai politicians and military officers in sexually compromising poses was cancelled by Chulalongkorn University, five days before it was to open. At the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003, he displayed some large-scale portraits of George W. Bush and other world leaders, created on canvas by using custom-made rubber stamps. Vasan's media has also included drawings, woodcut prints, ceramic sculpture, installations and performances.
In 2005, he set up the Artist Party, a political art project that mocked the then-ruling Thai Rak Thai party and prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He has supported the People's Alliance for Democracy ("Yellow Shirts") against Thaksin. The group has used his artwork as backgrounds for their demonstration stages, on their T-shirts and propaganda outlets, and Vasan appeared at the rallies to recite poems or perform music.
Vasan exhibited at Thavibu Gallery in 2009 - Capitalism is Dying!
