Vipoo Srivilasa is a Thai-born, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist, ceramicist and arts activist. His work is a playful blend of European historical figurines, Asian decorative art practices and contemporary culture, often exploring cross-cultural and migration experiences. Collaboration is an important part of his art practice, and he regularly takes part in community-driven projects such as Wellness Deity, which he undertook during the COVID lockdowns. For more than 20 years, Vipoo has exhibited both throughout Australia and internationally, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Saatchi Gallery, London.
Vipoo’s Happy Australian is a series of ten ceramic portraits inspired by selected submissions of people designing their most ‘Australian Eleganza Extravaganza outfit’ to wear on the happiest occasion of their life.
