SABART

Independent Artist / Graphic Designer

SABART is a Thai artist working across painting, sculpture, and character-based forms. His practice centers on a recurring figure named HYDE, a six-eyed monster with greenish-blue fur imagined to have been born from bacteria inside a pair of sneakers. This origin gives the character a lasting attachment to sneakers, fashion, and the ways people express identity through appearance.

Through HYDE, SABART explores themes of memory, relationships, and the quiet emotional experiences embedded in everyday life. The character functions not only as a visual motif but also as a narrative device, allowing the artist to approach personal and shared feelings in an accessible and open way.

Alongside his studio practice, SABART has worked across commercial and collaborative contexts, developing projects with brands, creative platforms, and public art initiatives. These experiences inform his interest in how images can move between gallery spaces, urban environments, and everyday objects while maintaining a consistent emotional core.

One of his notable projects, The Missing Island, was presented at MRT Phahon Yothin in Bangkok as part of the Metro Art program, where HYDE was placed within an imagined landscape that transformed a transit space into a reflective narrative environment.
