Born in 1966 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Upon his arrival in the United States in the 1990s, Udomsak Krisanamis immersed himself not only in American abstraction but also in learning English by reading newspapers and crossing out the words he understood.

From this method emerged segmented drawings, composed of letters and numbers, which formed a new visual language, reused as backgrounds in his compositions. This practice, which transforms textual fragments into lines and grids, offering frontal paintings, invites the viewer to an intuitive reading.

Through layers of materials without hierarchy, Krisanamis creates his works as visual scores where abstraction rejects linear narration in favor of open forms. By incorporating everyday objects and cultural references, his works subtly address themes such as consumerism, while offering a meditative experience.
