Patcharapol Tangruen (aka Alex Face) is a well-known and highly collectible artist from Bangkok, Thailand. He studied architecture at Bangkok’s King Mongktut Institute of Technology and earned a bachelor’s degree in the Department of Fine and Applied Arts.
He created Alex Face, a character with an aged, disillusioned child’s face wearing animal costumes who is worrying about the future of our world. Alex Face’s art attempts to create a link with the urban population and the underprivileged of Bangkok.
