Artist Statement
Images of unsmiling women's faces in combination with neo-pop color has become the artist’s signature. The expressionless portraits do not give any indication to the viewers of their state of emotions. The charm of his artwork comes from simple forms; a vibrant color palette, and most intriguingly his technique of texture construction. Each artwork consists of thousands of dots; each dot is placed free-hand with almost identical size and perfect spacing.
Chamnan merges Pointillism and the Aboriginal dotting technique to create artwork in his own style. For him, each dot represents an alphabet. The continuous stream of dots forming circles represents the forming of words. Several rings of circles put together in one place represents the forming of story.

Artist Profile

Chongpaiboon works predominantly with dots to construct a series of contemporary faces with reference to ritualistic Buddhist Mandala circle and meditative state of mind. He discusses the beauty of woman with a glimpse of retro fashion with vibrant color
palette and simple composition.
For Chongpaiboon, each dot represents an alphabet. The continuous stream of dots forming circles represents the forming of words. Several rings of circles put together in one place represents the forming of a story. The idea of circle also refers to a deeper meaning to the artist. As a Buddhist, Chongpaiboon believes in the notion of a “Wheel of Dhamma” which represents completeness, peace, and eternity.
Chongpaiboon commands the mastery of pointillism technique which is done free hand without any technological assistance.
He earned a BA of Fine Art from Silpakorn University, Thailand. He has exhibited in Australia, New York, Miami, London, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Thailand. He lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand.
