Tanapol Kaewpring

​

Artist, filmmaker, photo editor, and freelance photographer who has worked with many established magazines such as Rubber and Wallpaper magazine.

His work combines an acute sense of composition, depth, and perspective with thoughtful observations of the human condition through dream-like settings. His installation photography tends to use artificial and natural substances in action, colliding to release whatever feeling they are meant to evoke. Being a Thai anti-establishment supporter, his message is often more political than one would expect at first glance.

Tanapol’s work as an artist has been showcased at galleries and art fairs in Thailand and in Asia-Pacific such as the ASEAN-Korea Contemporary Photo Exhibition, Bangkok's Month of Photography, the Bangkok Design Week, the Hotel Art Fair, and he also had a solo exhibition Love & Fire at HOP Photo Gallery.
