Jorge Romero Mancebo

Suntur's solo exhibition at VILLAZAN Madrid will showcase his majestic infinite landscapes

Yozanun Wutigonsombutkul, better known as Suntur, currently lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand. Although his origins go back to advertising, he now works as a full-time artist. Suntur's style is simplistic yet resonant, and he places the intricate feelings of his characters against a wide-angle landscape. He always leaves some space in his works, giving the viewer the opportunity to fill in the blanks with what says something to them. He was recently selected to design the Hermès store ahead of the launch of the Hermès Petit H collection in Thailand.

His works depict a desolate world in which two small individuals coexist, narrating their stories through vast and harmonious landscapes. In these landscapes, the sky and the ground meet in the infinite horizon of the painting. Their dazzling beauty is insinuated through clean and precise brushstrokes.

These small stories are set in grandiose landscapes, but contain within them a colorful essence that floods the scene. Delicate and suggestive landscapes, where the characters can be placed contemplating the landscape or performing actions that evoke in the viewer a sense of contemplation, requiring him to fill these stories with his own experiences, leaving room for the imagination to fly.
