Alex Face, Muebon
Internationally renowned Thai street artists and frequent collaborators Alex Face and Muebon return to Tokyo with Desolated Vacation.
Alex Face and Muebon have been powerhouses in the international street art scene for more than a decade, continually recontextualizing their instantly recognizable characters to pose questions that reflect on current issues. Close friends and collaborators, the artists initially set out to provoke thought and make art accessible within their community through the creation of publicly visible street artworks. Cleverly maneuvering through the public space with pieces ranging in concept from delicate personal introspection to scathing political commentary, they have long since grown beyond their native Bangkok to achieve worldwide notoriety. Their public works and gallery exhibitions have appeared in Melbourne, Seoul, London, Venice, Chicago, Tokyo, Taipei, and Oslo to name a few.
In Desolated Vacation, Alex Face and Muebon return to Tokyo with new series of paintings that weave emotion and symbolism to explore themes of solitude and isolation in our current time. A theme underscored by the absence of the artists, unable to travel to Tokyo on account of the ongoing pandemic.
