ALEX FACE, a well-known and influential graffiti artist who was born in 1981 in Thailand, received his BAA from KMITL University. An interest in street art led ALEX FACE to explore and wander the streets and alleys of Bangkok for abandoned buildings, which are used as a canvas to develop his art and where he could express himself. He has exhibited his works in various locations, including the US, the UK, France, Italy, Norway, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and Taiwan. He currently resides in Thailand.

He created ALEX FACE, a character with an aged, disillusioned child’s face wearing animal costumes. Through his graffiti, the artist attempts to create a link with the urban population, the underprivileged of Bangkok and the provinces. He now includes images of penguins that have since become a new member of his collective characters, along with the old character which appeared in his early works on the street. Alex considers himself as an artist with a social conscience. His current signature, a quizzical smoking baby who looks at first glance cute but all the time worrying about the future of the world. The baby idea was inspired by the birth of his daughter, caused him to consider the future and in particular to take stock of the changes happening in the country, where they grew up. He draws this classic character features with the third eye, symbolizing Thai spiritual beliefs and representing another dimension, enabling a heightened perception that resonates with deeper aspects beyond what our eyes can perceive.
