“White face, black hair, hollow eyes — the mind and the Dharma, told with humour”
Abi Original is a street artist and painter living in Bangkok, Thailand, who began making street art in 2006. Abi holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Poh-Chang Academy of Arts, and has presented the solo series "Bangkok Dizzy" as well as a collaboration with Thai artist Alex Face.
The work began with a cartoon character: a white face, soft black hair and deep, hollow eyes. It has continued to evolve alongside the artist's own life. Much of it speaks about society, and about the mind and the teachings of the Buddha — always with a measure of humour.
