BIOGRAPHY: SUTHIRAK
Khun Suthirak is an experienced artist who has
experimented with many art styles over his long
years of painting but which has finally evolved
into the extremely popular, unique and highly
distinctive style of painting that we see today.
It is characterized by heavily applied layers of
paint, reminiscent of the “painterly style”, using
brush and trowel and splashing. He favors bold,
bright primary colors for the most part which
reflect his irrepressible, larger than life,
personality although, when so inspired,
occasionally employs sensuous, erotic, pastel
shades and sometimes mixed media as well, all of
which adds an interesting extra dimension to his
work. Khun Suthirak’s art is almost always
executed on a large canvas, which is necessary. A
small canvas could not contain his vibrant energy.
His work is powerful, dramatic, exciting, and
emotional and often seems to explode from the
canvas. It is unmistakably his own.
Khun Suthirak studied art at the Phuket campus,
Prince of Songkla University commencing in 1985.
Following a brief period when he worked in the
galleries of other people, his driving ambition
led him to branch out on his own as an independent
artist, thus giving him the freedom to experiment
with developing his own artistic style. He was
born in 1967 and educated in Phuket and after his
university training began his career in Phuket
working for established galleries. He was not
fulfilled working for other people, with their
different ideas on art, and he felt stifled. So
when he married he, and his wife, relocated to
Samui in 1990 where they established a successful
gallery together and Khun Suthirak was free to
evolve his own distinctive style of painting.
When he was in a financial position to obtain his
own gallery in Phuket and separating from his
wife, he returned to
Phuket Island in 1993. Khun Suthirak owned and
managed several galleries of his own while, at the
same time, perfecting his own highly distinctive
artistic style. His reputation developed to the
point whereby he was prevailed upon, over the
years, to teach many of the artists working today
in Phuket and elsewhere. He is now a much loved,
mature artist and in demand by big hotels, top
restaurants, and private house-holders all over
Phuket and internationally. He has exhibited
rarely being barely able to maintain the constant
demand from private commissions.

SUTHIRAK’s art is mostly, but not invariably,
executed on a large canvas, which is necessary to
contain his vibrant energy. It is not discrete,
quiet and retiring, to be hung in a quiet corner
of your residence. It is powerful, dramatic,
exciting, and emotional and seemingly explodes
from the canvas. It is unmistakably SUTHIRAK, and
demands to be the featured focus of a room.
Nothing less will do. His work can be found in big
hotels, top restaurants, and private residences
all over Phuket and internationally. He has
mounted several successful exhibitions both local
and overseas, notably in the Sydney and Melbourne
Art exhibitions of 2006 where his work aroused
much comment.
