Happy Birthday

UnderHatDaddy, known for conjuring up Chubby – a soft-bodied, soft-eyed heroine with the kind of presence that makes strangers smile without knowing why – turns their gaze inward. This time, the work doesn’t simply ask to be adored; it asks to be understood. Through Chubby, viewers trace the crooked line between delight and despair, where joy can be sudden and unwieldy, and failure arrives dressed as inevitability. There’s pain, yes, but also a strange sort of strength that grows in its shadow. The exhibition doesn’t offer neat resolutions or redemption arcs. Instead, it leans into the contradictions – flesh and spirit, breakage and bloom – where being alive feels both ridiculous and profound. Because perhaps, despite the mess and melancholy, life remains the most bewildering and generous offering we’re given. Until Jun 22. Free. RCB Galleria, Rivercity Bangkok, 10am-8pm
