Weerawat Singsawat is a contemporary figurative painter based in Thailand. His work employs a style of Dark Realism, focusing on figures often depicted wearing a conical hat (symbolic of Thai rural laborers). The most distinctive feature of his paintings is the way the figure’s face is obscured, fragmented, or replaced by images of currency (banknotes). This symbolically illustrates the erosion of the working class’s identity by economic value or survival issues. The artist uses dramatic chiaroscuro and deep colors to emphasize the figure’s burden and social pressure, conveying a profound message about the loss of individual dignity and inner struggle hidden within the guise of an ordinary laborer. His paintings transcend mere representation, prompting the viewer toward critical reflection on social structures and human life.
