Peeraphat Kittisuwat

Peeraphat graduated in Industrial Design at the Faculty of Architecture of Chulalongkorn in 2002 in Thailand. Peeraphat Kittisuwat happens to collaborate with Wit Pinmkanchanapong, another well-known Thai artist, on several projects.

His work has been inspired by ancestral religious techniques. Live Drawing finds its roots in the most authentic Mandala sand painting.
In Thailand as well as in other Buddhist countries , Mandala sand painting is considered one of the most unique and exquisite artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism. Called dul-tson-kyil-khor in Tibetan, literally "Mandala of colored powders," the process is one of prayer, patience and meditation. Throughout the process of constructing the Mandala, the public is invited to share in this intimate and mesmerizing ritual.

Peeraphat works seamlessly mixes expert drawing skills and digital technology. . His Live-Animation shows display his unique sensitivity towards cinematic language. The story unfolds as the drawn image interacts with prepared animation

If its work was initially inspired by the traditional sand drawings, Live drawing although remaining a Live-Animation, shows his unique sensitivity towards cinematic language. Live Drawing  is a live show that combines real-time drawing with pre-production animation, completed with live music. The result falls in twilight of still image and animation, cinematography and concert.

Most of the time, Peeraphat work is "Site Specific", depending on where the performance takes place, the theme of the story varies. Also, depending on the venues, his work can be displayed on screen backdrops, on light coloured walls, or on spinning wide plasma screens.

Peeraphat performances are always associated with a team composed of technicians on the one hand and musicians on the other hand. Team work and rehearsing are essential to best showcase Live drawing. Eventually, poetry, innocence and amazement come out of this performance while high technology and techniques lay behind it.
