Preyawit Nilachulaka
Preyawit Nilachulaka was born in 1977 in Bangkok, also known as Mr. Sexman, is a Thai artist, whose work observes and questions the relationship between the society and the roles we play as citizens. Having been influenced in his teen years by living in Japan, his works are often described as carrying the manga-esque aesthetics of storytelling and composition associated with Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball.
In the Death of Bob, the artist’s most recent body of works, Nilachulaka explores the theme of death and loneliness. Combining the Buddhist ideology with the consciousness to memento mori, the artist uses satire as a way to mentally come to terms with the inevitable truth: that one day we all must die. This is especially relevant in today’s battle with the global pandemic, which forces many families to be apart, through quarantine and social distancing, to the point that some even dub the infection, “the lonely disease”.
Nilachulaka has created “Bob”, a man who finds himself immortal after surviving his first death. The Death of Bob follows the man with a mask and his current existence suspended between life and what lies beyond. Bob places himself in increasingly dangerous situations, finding that the only way for the immortal to feel truly alive is to be in close proximity to oblivion.
Multi-media artist with a Ph.D. in the field of Applied Art and Design. He believes in unique and powerful visual identities. Preferred tools are concepts, communication, and comradery. In the early stages of his career, he becomes a teaching assistant at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad.
