Born 1987, live and work in Bangkok, Thailand Prasert Yodkaew graduated from Silpakorn University Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts with BFA and MFA degrees. He is currently a Ph.D at Silpakorn University. In his work Yodkaew does not intend to provide answers for the audience; instead, he is looking to confront by employing paradox designs. That involves devices, creatures, and three-dimensional decompositions of traditional architecture mixed with biological specimens. In addition, in his practice, Yodkaew blends western engineering with Thai elements to generate a precarious balance between the two.
Yodkaew took part in the exchange programme "Bangkok-Quebec" 2017 at L'Oeil De Poisson Gallery in Quebec, Canada. He has had several solo exhibitions such as “Sciencefaith" 2011 at Projectspace Gallery in Luang Prabang/Laos, "Art Sanya" 2012 at Venue Art Sanya, Hainan/China, "How to get back to heaven" 2013 at Tang Contemporary Art, Beijing/China,“Predetermined” 2015 at Tang Contemporary Art, Bangkok/Thailand, ”Nightmare" 2018 at Vin Gallery, Saigon/Vietnam, "Asian Drums” 2019 at VT Art Salon Gallery in Taipei/Taiwan, and “Present/Absent” 2024 at Otto Studio 1975 in Toyama/Japan. His works have been exhibited in "Anthropos Navigating Human Depth" 2012 at Sundaram Tagore Gallery/ Singapore. Additionally, in 2013 he exhibited a sculpture installation at the cave exhibition “Metro- Sapiens” in Ratchaburi province, and in 2014 exhibited “Thai Charisma (Heritage+Creative Power) Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) in Bangkok/Thailand.
