Prateep Suthathongthai was born and raised in Bangkok. He acquired a Master of Fine Arts (Painting) from Silpakorn University. Since 2006 Suthathongthai has been teaching at the fine art department of Mahasarakham University while also maintaining his artistic practice there. His works deploy the technique of photography by using strips of photographic film as a medium. This series of works are inspired by religious objects and architecture, the practice also extends to creating large scale site-specific photo installation. After relocating to the Northeastern region, Suthathongthai has been interested in the disputable history between the national and regional historiography of Isan. The politics of image, knowledge, and memories. In his latest exhibition “A Little Rich Country” at 100 Tonson Gallery Prateep has returned to paintings. He painted the life-size cover of books and printed matters circulated during World War 2. The paintings reflect the production of propaganda and collective memories controlled by the state.
