Artist in Focus: Jang Onanong
A self-taught artist and former graphic designer from Bangkok, Thailand, Onanong works with various media such as drawing, painting, and sculpture. She intrigues her audiences and takes them on a magical journey with her instantly recognisable and inviting character “Jang”.
Audiences view "Jang" through various lenses: for instance, at the “MEIHUA” solo exhibition, Onanong fused cultural and historical elements to present a modern and playful "Jang" who simultaneously exists in the past, present, and future.
