Norwegian artist Martin Whatson has a unique ability to straddle both the masculine and feminine in his work. Largely composed of more uniform greyscale layered stencils, and embellished in a flourish of colourful details, ranging from graffiti tags to hearts and doves, Whatson references the visual duality and playfulness that animates street art. Whatson often uses his platform to poke fun at society, sometimes leaning into deeply political territory while retaining a visually engaging form.

In this piece, Whatson joined forces with Thai artists Mua Bon and Alex Face. In dividing their canvas, the Thai artists worked within the space where Whatson’s colourful details normally take hold, and filled it with their own stylised and recognisable work.
