b. 1971, Thailand; based in BangkokTawatchai’s artworks play with our perceptions of volume, space, time and physical balance, challenging our expectations of what sculpture is. His pieces create tensions between object and absence, making empty space an integral element of his work. He plays with both formalist elements and the physicality of his materials. Tawatchai uses furniture and objects to explore the relationship between two- and three-dimensional space and to question how our perception of an object is governed more by what our eye sees than what our brain knows to be true. The artist will employ complex mathematical calculations to generate forms, but then he often designs and constructs them without the aid of modern technologies. His practice regularly makes references to cartography, astronomy, and cosmology as well as Buddhist philosophy.Top artwork:1.\tHouse\t2006 Crayon on paper\t114 cm × 99 cm Bottom artwork: 2.\tKnowledge \t2006\tTeak wood\t100 cm × 100 cm × 90 cm
