Silaphan is a mixed-media artist, using collage and illustration to adorn advertising signs from his native Thailand selling products like Coca-cola, Pepsi and 7-Up. He uses such vintage signs as a canvas, adorning them with images of artists who have inspired him, for example: Kahlo sitting regally on a chair; Bacon casually checking the time on his wrist watch; Pollock dripping paint; Duchamp fixing the viewer with a cold gaze; Picasso drawing freestyle across a vintage sign; and multiple Warhol figures crouching on a studio floor creating screen prints.
