BOB is now working between fine art and lifestyle art, both way is a happy project through process, outcome and impact to audiences.
Q. Why did Bob invade Thailand coffee shops?
According to BOB’s vision, art in Thailand was difficult to access to, especially for artists to find a gallery to show their works.
BOB’s perspective to lifestyle place has a possibility to have art in theirs, BOB started searching coffee shop around Bangkok, discuss with owners, enjoy those stories how each shop had been made by individuals beliefs.
The heart of these people that BOB have the same is ‘passion’.
They started from there.
And that the place that BOB choose to invade!
More and more we search for those cafes, we met more and more lovely people!
