Biography

A Thai-born Australian artist recognised as a leader in contemporary ceramics for his participatory work and cross-cultural storytelling. For more than two decades, his practice has explored queerness, spirituality, and migration through artworks that are accessible, positive, and beautiful.

His work brings together the aesthetics of European porcelain figurines and Asian deity statues, reflecting his own cross-cultural identity.

Alongside his studio work, Vipoo develops participatory projects that invite people to express themselves through clay and storytelling and become part of his creative process.

He holds a Bachelor of Art from Rangsit University, a Graduate Diploma from Monash University, and a Master of Fine Art and Design from the University of Tasmania.

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