Over a career spanning more than 20 years, Thai-born, Melbourne-based artist, Vipoo Srivilasa has created intricate and elaborate artworks that reflect his bicultural experience living between Australia and Thailand.

Working predominantly in ceramics, though his expansive practice also incorporates mediums of paper, mix media, bronze, public art and performance art. Vipoo’s works celebrate the intersections and overlaps between our cultural, social, philosophical, and environmental ideologies with a mix of playfully and reverence, iconography and ornamentalism. He created works that are accessible, positive and beautiful.

An important aspect of Vipoo’s practice is his collaborations and work as an activist to create opportunities for cultural exchange between artists and diverse communities and invite further engagement with cross-cultural and migration experience.

Vipoo holds a Master of Fine Art and Design from the University of Tasmania. His work is represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Queensland Art Gallery and Shepparton Art Museum amongst others. Vipoo was awarded the 2021 Ceramic Artist of the Year by The American Ceramic Society, USA.
