Amann is a Thai artist who started painting graffiti in 2001. He was initially exposed to street culture as an avid skateboarder and band member. He found himself particularly drawn to, and inspired by, graffiti art.
His creative world is poetic, mysterious and unique. In order to express him visually on canvas, he has developed a style which also mixes a variety of media and materials.
Amann finds artistic inspiration from his childhood, the people he meets and his travels around the world in France, Japan, Morocco or Indonesia. He is particularly passionate about the fact that street art has no social barriers: Everyone can contribute to it and everyone can access it. Talking directly to people on the street through painting is the true power of street art for Amann. The development of each piece of art can reflect feelings like a mirror and beyond this, can act as a vehicle for social change and independent expression.
He has painted many different characters, but MUTE, his latest and main character, reflects his identity. It is simple: It has no mouth, which expresses that we have no voice in society.
Amann latest solo exhibition MUTE SONGS took place in Bordeaux, France @ Les Vivres de l'Art in July 2024.
