BENZILLA

b.1984, Bangkok, Thailand

 

One of the most renowned streets artists from Thailand, Benzilla graduated with a major in Fine and Applied Art from Bangkok University in 2007. The artist is most well-known for his signature character “LOOOK,” a three-eyed alien of unknown origins that conveys the perspective of an outsider. Benzilla immerses the character in colourful compositions depicting pop-culture influences from his childhood, as well as elements of street art, mythology, and science fiction – references to skateboarding, and 90’s fashion and music culture are especially pervasive in his works. His works thus reinterpret nostalgic themes into new and whimsical stories, seen and experienced for the first time through the eyes of an unfamiliar alien.

 

Through his multidisciplinary practice, which spans painting, drawing, and sculpture, Benzilla introduces the viewer to the journeys of “LOOOK” in these vivid landscapes. The artist has exhibited widely both locally and internationally. Selected solo exhibitions include “Surface,” Thinkspace Projects, Los Angeles, U.S. (2025); “Goood Luck: Glitter Gaze,” Tang Contemporary Art, Bangkok, Thailand (2024); “Alter Ego,” Thinkspace projects, Los Angeles, U.S. (2023); “Lost in Paradise,” Trendy Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand (2023); “Diamond in the desert,” 333Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan (2023); “MUSIC ON,” The Waluso Gallery, London, UK (2022). Selected group exhibitions include “A Better Tomorrow,” Thinkspace projects, Los Angeles, U.S. (2024); “Love Endures,” Stolen Space Gallery, London (2024) and “A Christmas Carol,” Maison Ozmen, Paris, France (2023).
