Pinaree Sanpitak
1961, Thailand

Widely known for her 'breast stupa' motif, Thai artist Pinaree Sanpitak (b. 1961, Thailand) is equally known for her fluid transitions between ideas and mediums, constantly building on prior works and concepts. The critically recognised conceptual artist is often categorised as a feminist artist who focuses on the female self and motherhood, but while much of Sanpitak's practice explores womanhood and the female body, her work is largely an exploration of the human form and humanity, seeing the body as a site of experience and impressions. Her works (sculpture, painting, drawing, installation, ceramic, printmaking, photography, performance) often delve into the affectual relationships between humans and draw on themes of fertility and comfort.
