Nakrob Moonmanas (born in 1990, Bangkok) is a visual artist based in Bangkok, primarily working with the medium of collage. He graduated from Thai literature studies at Chulalongkorn University. His focus centers on exploring the historical memories of Thai visual arts and cultures. Moonmanas endeavours to unveil, play with, and question these aspects in various dimensions. By delving into pictorial archives spanning multiple times and places, his artworks come to life through the juxtaposition of local and exotic fragments of history and visual culture. Infused with a contemporary aesthetic, this amalgamation creates an alternative narrative, prompting a reexamination of the past and inviting viewers to explore and assess once again topics they are almost familiar with.
Moonmanas’s recent work has been shown at various institutes, such as the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, Warin Lab Contemporary, Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok and Mizuma Gallery in Singapore. From 2020 to 2021, Moonmanas was a laureate of the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. His artist residency in Paris was supported by the Institut français and the Embassy of France in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2022, Moonmanas was one of the artists of the Bangkok Art Biennale. In 2024, he collborated with Chitti Kasemkitvatana for the porject “Our Place In Their World” for “The Spirits Of Maritime Crossing”,Collateral Event of the 60th Venice Biennale.
