Artist Alex Face on his Iconic Work, Inspiration, and Space Art [S4.E60]

Greg interviews celebrated Thai artist Alex Face
(https://www.facebook.com/Alexfacebkk),
known mostly for his large building-sized murals, which appear
not only in Bangkok but also in other cities around the world.
Alex begins by recounting his interest in art as a child, which
slowly developed into a passion and later a career. He explains
his love of graffiti (both legal and illegal) and then discusses
his education and attempts to live in other countries, including
Korea and later England. 


Interestingly, Alex mentions becoming a parent as a major
turning point in his life, but not one that led him to a more
conventional job. Instead, he focused on finding a way to support
his family as an artist and continuing the struggle no matter
what obstacles got in his way.


Greg and Alex wind through multiple topics, including the
art scene in Thailand relative to the West and the role of
politics in modern Thai art. Listen in for an in-depth discussion
with a truly unique Thai artist.
