Biography
 
Terdtanwa Kanama or Turn’s work fuses Western street culture, youthful energy and traditional Asian roots. His art is a homage to Thailand’s traditional fine art world in which the artist grew up seeing his father paint at a young age. At the same time, Terdtanwa’s art is a tribute to the child, an inner curiosity within humans, along with the adventure they embark on together with his plant friends like Bonsy. The artist has taken inspiration from graffiti, streetwear to music alongside his real-life encounter of foster children with big dreams. The artist chronicles the unique journey in the transformation of himself and those around him in a playful way, conveying a sense of hope, empowerment, and joy of chasing the dreams for a better life. The embodiment of youth culture and the acceptance of one’s identity within both society and nature means constant self-discovery and wonder that remains ever so relevant today.
