Vipoo Srivilasa
Melbourne-based, Thai-born Australian artist Vipoo Srivilasa creates artwork that is positive, accessible, and beautiful. His practice primarily focuses on ceramics, though he also produces works on paper, mixed-media sculptures, bronze statues, and large-scale public art installations. He often incorporates food and interactive performance into his ceramic projects, creating a unique and immersive experience for viewers.
Vipoo Srivilasa: Positive Art Work
I’m beyond thrilled to announce that my book, "Vipoo Srivilasa: Positive Art Work," is officially available for pre-order! 📚✨
This book has been 18 months in the making, and it spans two decades of my practice. This book offers a visual feast of my works alongside five insightful essays. It's a chronological journey through my artistic evolution, divided into three parts: Studio Practice, Sculpture Exhibitions, and Collaborative Projects (including my biggest project to date, re/JOY)—plus a special How-To section!
Whether you’ve followed my work for years or are just discovering it, I hope this book will bring you joy, inspiration, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.
