Biography

For nearly three decades, Vipoo Srivilasa (AUS/THA) has developed a distinctive practice engaging with complex questions of queerness, migration and spiritual meaning through an artistic language that is accessible, positive and beautiful.

His work explores experiences of isolation, loneliness and nostalgia, alongside joy, beauty and hope. Alongside his studio practice, Vipoo has also developed a significant participatory practice, creating projects that invite people to become part of the creative process through storytelling, clay and shared making.

Vipoo has exhibited extensively in Australia and internationally, including at the 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.

He holds a Bachelor of Art (Ceramics) from Rangsit University, Bangkok, a Graduate Diploma of Arts (Ceramics) from Monash University, Melbourne, and 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 in Cheltenham on the lands of the Kulin Nation.
