Named after my favourite Thai dessert, Pandan Coconut is a collage inspired by the contrasts that make Thailand unforgettable. Combining photographs taken across the country, the work layers the vibrant energy and chaos of Bangkok with the slower, peaceful rhythm of its coastal towns. Through torn textures, street imagery and quiet beach scenes, it reflects the balance between movement and stillness, celebrating the beauty found in both the rush of the city and the calm of the ocean.
Artist Bio: Chico Leong is a Melbourne based Collage artist and designer whose creative journey began with a passion for graffiti at a young age. This early influence laid the foundation for his distinctive artistic style, which draws inspiration from the decayed street posters found in urban environments around the world. While these weathered posters might be seen by some as visual clutter, Chico views them as compelling works of art and an essential reference point for his creations.
Over the years, Chico has showcased his art across various mediums, including galleries, zines, t-shirts, skateboards, homewares, and large-scale murals. Specializing in collage, he combines street posters and aerosol paints, layering and tearing them to craft dynamic, abstract compositions. His work captures the raw beauty of urban decay while reflecting a deeply personal and innovative artistic vision.
