Michael Bhichitkul

About the Artist

Through his multidisciplinary practice combining installation and photography, Michael presents a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the mundane specializing in playful, low-intensity dramas featuring suggestively altered objects.  These objects, trapped in Bhichitkul’s world where solutions to common problems go awry, are presented as opposing forces locked in a ridiculous stand off.  The tension in his pieces is balanced by his color work and compositional choices creating an elegant and complex final outcome.

Michael Bhichitkul currently lives and works in Houston, TX and received his BFA from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, CO in 2012.
