Thai-Hong Kong artist, Varagun "Andy" Chongthanapipat, better known as MrKreme, is renowned for his monster characters Rosado, Mushkin, Corkin, Gally and Odeys. His monster family, named Kooky World, has been marketed in many countries including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK and the US.
Influenced by 1980s animation and movies from DVDs sent to him by a Hong Kong relative, Varagun defines his artistic style as pop surrealism. His Kooky family characters were inspired by monsters in the 80s which feature vibrant colours.
This year, Varagun pushed his creative boundaries by launching the exhibition "MrKreme: The Furryways Asia Tour", in collaboration with ArtXP, an art community dedicated to immersive projects. The exhibition was introduced as a multi-sensory art experience and recently made its world premiere at Parc Paragon, Siam Paragon.
