Announcing the representation of Channatip Chanvipava 

26 Jun 2026

Ames Yavuz is proud to announce the representation of Thai-British artist Channatip Chanvipava.

Chanvipava engages memory as both material and method, transforming lived experience into broader emotional and collective narratives, exploring intimacy, identity and change.

His bold brushstrokes and layered textures reveal an interplay between control and spontaneity, where familiar places and figures emerge and dissolve across the surface as colour carries fluid emotional and symbolic meaning. He is drawn to the tension between abstraction and figuration that arises through the subjectivity of memory, leaving narratives open to multiple interpretations.

Alongside his paintings are installation-based works that spatially activate his canvases, extending their psychological and experiential reach.

In July, Chanvipava will present Found Memories in Ames Yavuz in London, his first solo exhibition with the gallery, that traces the months preceding the birth of the artist’s first child and the associated shift in selfhood.

In October, Chanvipava will participate in the Bangkok Art Biennale 2026, led by Artistic Director Dr. Apinan Poshyananda.  

Chanvipava’s works have been exhibited across the United Kingdom, Italy, and Thailand, including solo presentations such as The Sound of Many Waters, presented by Roman Road at Dimora Ai Santi during the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), and Wizards of Omaha at Ronchini Gallery, United Kingdom (2024). He has undertaken residencies in France and the United Kingdom, and his work is held in the collections of The London School of Economics & Political Science, United Kingdom, and the DC Collection, Thailand.
