Who art thou, Suntur?
Tiny miny miniature people in magnified spaces – and I started humming “I’m a big big girl in a big big world”.

Yozanun Wutigonsombutkul — better known as Suntur ซันเต๋อ, is a Thai illustrator – a name I just got to know recently through a work acquaintance. Suntur just held an exhibition recently, titled “A Little Letter From Someone Somewhere” at JWD Art Space.
The paintings came with a twist: 26 paintings accompanied by musical works – musicians were asked to interpret Suntur’s works and came up with their own music piece! Visitors were encouraged to visit with their headset, scan unique QR code accompanied with each painting and listen to the song while viewing the artwork. There were many renowned artists being part of this collaboration – it was just amazing!
A little letter 
Sending letter to their future self
Another twist – “Send Letter to (Future) You” – sending a letter to your future self had many flocking to the exhibition – there were many writing letters to their future self, occupying most of the floor space.
The day I visited the exhibition, it was too crowded to be able to fully enjoy the exhibition. But nevertheless, I was inspired enough and enjoyed every single moment of my time spent at JWD Art Space.
“That painting has no living creature in it, just the sky and stars. It embodied my feeling when I was in New York where I felt like a loser because I had become a nobody. ” Suntur
Most articles I found are in Thai, but if your interest is piqued – here’s an article in English about Suntur and the exhibition. Suntur also does illustration for books, magazines, posters, products packaging, installations, clothing and visual art.
His art spoke to me – how about you?
