A Thai-born Australian artist, recognised as a leader in the field of ceramics.

Over the past two decades, Vipoo has made works that engage with complex questions of queerness, migration and spiritual meaning, using an aesthetic and medium that is accessible, positive and beautiful.

His works often explore the dark parts of experience including isolation, loneliness, nostalgia, as well as joy, beauty, and hope in the midst of these struggles. Additionally, Vipoo has developed participatory projects that invite people to be part of his creative process, helping them express themselves through storytelling and clay.

Vipoo has exhibited extensively around the world, including Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Saatchi Gallery, London; Ayala Museum, Philippines; Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taiwan; Nanjing Arts Institute, China and the National Gallery of Thailand.

Vipoo was awarded a Bachelor of Art (Ceramics) from Rangsit University, Bangkok, Thailand in 1994 which he followed with a Graduate Diploma of Arts (Ceramics) four years later at Monash University in Melbourne, and in 1999 was awarded a Master of Fine Art and Design from the University of Tasmania, Hobart. 

Vipoo lives and works in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, where his studio, ClayLAB, is situated within the Kulin Nation/Cheltenham.
