Chumpol Taksapornchai is a multi-faceted artist who was born in Bangkok in 1977. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Rajabhat Thonburi University with a major in Visual Communication Design.
After working in a gallery in Bangkok for a few years, Chumpol moved to Chiang Mai, where he soon opened his own studio, the ‘Matoom Art Space’. He has over the years developed a very unique style of paintings, which are to the most part about people and people’s feelings. Chumpol uses seemingly simple scetches to portray social environments, always emphasizing the importance of family values and Buddhist philosophy. This very simplicity makes his paintings appear cute despite his underlying serious thoughts.
Chumpol regularly organises exhibitions in Matoom, and provides his art space to other artists as a meeting and working place. He also gives private painting lessons.
