ERTHH b. 2000, Bangkok, Thailand Thanathorn Phattarathada, better known as ERTHH, graduated from the Faculty of Decorative Arts at Silpakorn University in 2022. ERTHH is inspired by Thai master, Prateep Kochabua, known for his surrealist paintings, as well as inspired by his study and interest in Carravagio’s use of light and shadow, frequently experimenting with techniques of chiaroscuro.  He practiced still life compositions and then gradually started to integrate elements of his upbringing and passion for cartoons and illustrations, eventually forming his unique style and canvases. Young and energetic, while exuding an air of maturity beyond his age, ERTHH creates pop surrealist paintings with a fresh take, illustrating a character that reflects on his own learning experiences.  Though the boy “Cheek” is expressed in a calm and quiet manner, he represents both the artist's highs and lows.  Beneath each detail is a story that is waiting to be unfolded.
