N.Smith is thrilled to welcome Vipoo Srivilasa to the gallery family.
A Thai-born Australian artist recognised as a leader in the field of ceramics, Vipoo creates work that engages with complex questions of queerness, migration, and spiritual meaning, using an aesthetic and medium that is accessible, uplifting, and beautiful.
Vipoo has exhibited extensively around the world, including Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Saatchi Gallery, London; Ayala Museum, Philippines; Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taiwan; Nanjing Arts Institute, China and the National Gallery of Thailand. His work is held in national and international public collections across the globe including Henan Museum, China; Roopanakar Museum of Fine Arts, India; Craft Council, UK, and the National Gallery of Australia. In 2021, Vipoo was awarded the Ceramic Artist of the Year by the American Ceramic Society for his contribution to the global clay community. Vipoo was included in the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art in 2021, and the National Portrait Gallery’s Portrait 23 earlier this year.
Vipoo’s first exhibition with N.Smith Gallery is scheduled for late 2024.
