Kolahon is the professional name of Kawinwarong Ingadhamrong, a Thai artist based in Bangkok. He paints surreal scenes built around a central female figure, blending manga, 1960s psychedelia, geometric pattern, Ukiyo-e print texture and nods to Keiichi Tanaami. His name means chaos in Thai, and his work explores the tension between chaos, ego and instinct.
He originally trained in architecture and landscape design and began drawing in black and white line work before Bangkok's NFT scene led him to add color. Manga read since childhood was an early influence, and he has named artists such as Kim Jung Gi, James Jean and Murakami among them. He has also cited Hieronymus Bosch's surreal, spiritual cosmologies, Francisco Goya's psychological depth and Hilma af Klint's exploration of unseen spiritual structures as influences. A former partner served as an early muse, and he has said he channelled both the arguments and the memories of that relationship into his paintings.
