Thailand-born and of Thai and Japanese descent, multidisciplinary artist Yuree Kensaku is known for her candy-colored, surrealist and cartoon-like murals layered with dark humor, sarcasm, and pop-culture symbolism.
At first glance her paintings are inviting, exuberant, and deceptively simple but bubbling beneath the surface is bold social commentary, personal introspection, and allegory. In , at the second Bangkok Art Biennale, she presented the painting Bleu Blanc Rouge () and sculpture Broken Victoria (), both works that could be read as critical of Thailand’s monarchy and in support of protestors calling for revolution and political reform.
For HT22 two large-scale murals on canvas from Kensaku’s immersive installation Atmosfear () can be seen at the Honolulu Museum of Art. First presented at Tonson Gallery in Bangkok
