PKRU Art Student’s work called ‘the Desired Peace’ win Young Artists Talent #16’s 1st Prize

(January 14, 2025) Mr. Pattarapon Sanusan, a student in the Art Major in Arts and Design Program at Phuket Rajabhat University, was awarded the first prize in the Young Artists Talent #16 project, which was conducted by the Office of Contemporary Art for the 2025 fiscal year. This project is designed to develop the skills of new generation artists. Pattarapon was awarded 80,000 baht in cash as part of an international visit with the national artists.


In Young Artists Talent #16, 42 art students from universities throughout the nation were required to produce an artwork that was inspired by the concept of "Beyond Individual Desire." This concept partially reflected the dimensions of Phuket, such as its cultural diversity and natural resources, which should be preserved not only for the local population but also for the global community. The creation of art work that was inspired by this concept is not only a means of conveying the story of society or the world, but it may also be a significant mechanism for improving society.
Pattarapon's art piece, "The Desired Peace," was executed using the metal technique. The work illustrates the gradual transformation of the seashore into a crowded and chaotic environment as a result of capitalism, the expansion of tourism, and the competition for natural resources and areas. Pattarapon presents the intended tranquility by simulating the peaceful existence of human and marine life in the ocean, which is not yet discovered and is situated within the aquarium.
