Unwritten Fairytales presents the concept of “fairytales yet to be told” — a theme that opens up space for 16 international artists to express their interpretations through their own ideas, techniques, and styles.
Stepping into the exhibition, visitors will encounter a wide range of artworks that differ in content, tone, and perspective. Each piece invites the audience to freely explore, interpret, and connect with the stories in their own imaginative way.
Curated by One Small Gallery and Madskills, this exhibition brings together works from both renowned and emerging artists across the globe, including: Adam Handler, Bel Fullana, Cheese Arnon, Erik Foss, Flog, Jinnbooroom, Jun Makita, Jittirobot, Jingyi Wang, NeNe, Noritoshi Mitsuuchi, Stefany Zefanya, Super Future Kid, Tade, Willem Hoeffnagel, and Young Lee.
‘Unwritten Fairytales’ is being held at TDPK Studio 2, a newly launched creative space on the 3rd floor of True Digital Park West, near TK Park. This area has become a vibrant creative zone that welcomes everyone.
“True Digital Park continues to support spaces for art exhibitions. We envision it as a lab for diverse ideas, where creativity can be explored and experimented with freely. We value this space, as many young artists who once exhibited here have gone on to thrive and inspire others,” said Dr. Tarit Nimmanwudipong, General Manager of True Digital Park.
Here are highlights from three artists whose works invite viewers to dive deeper into their own imaginations:
Pinocchio said “…being an artist is very easy.”
Revealing the contrast between image and truth – by Jittirobot
This mixed media painting by Jittirobot is a deeply personal response to the common misconception that being an artist is easy — a life of effortless creativity and comfort.
Jittirobot uses Pinocchio as a symbol of irony: every time the artist silently accepts the misunderstanding without explanation, Pinocchio’s nose grows longer — a visual metaphor for the growing emotional weight of unspoken truth.
“From the outside, people might think that being an artist means simply sitting down to draw, stress-free and effortless. But in reality, it’s filled with pressure and challenges that build up inside me—just like in any profession, where difficulty comes in different forms. When people say that, I don’t try to explain. I just accept it and wind myself up again, to keep the creative gears turning.”
The artist’s signature character Roller Bot also appears in this piece, serving as an inner voice — constantly questioning identity, emotion, and the human journey — and quietly fueling the ongoing process of creation.
Top of the Game & Better Together
Following passion through an undefined path – by Cheese Arnon
Cheese Arnon began his journey as a graffiti artist before gradually transitioning into contemporary art. He interprets the word Fairytale as a metaphor for passion and distant goals that have yet to come into focus.
“I didn’t study painting formally. I started with graffiti — something many people see as negative or not real art. There’s no clear path from graffiti to fine art. I had to explore, make mistakes, and find my way through experience. If you look closely at my work, you’ll see rough, expressive brushstrokes — a kind of hidden abstraction.”
For this exhibition, he presents two works that reflect his views on navigating personal and creative paths. Top of the Game features a butterfly-winged character surrounded by a beautiful, dreamlike landscape—yet it’s uncertain where exactly they are on their journey, echoing the ambiguity many artists face.
Better Together explores the idea of embracing diverse artistic routes—whether coming from graffiti or fine art—as equally valid paths in the world of art, each shaped by different experiences but driven by the same creative passion.
Brave Eleven
An inner battle visualized – by Stefany Zefanya
Stefany Zefanya, a visual artist from Indonesia, uses watercolor and mixed media to translate everyday experiences into metaphorical forms. Her works capture a wide emotional spectrum — from joy and contentment to emptiness, harsh self-criticism, and the hope that helps us keep going.
Brave Eleven, vibrant and full of life at first glance, reveals a deeper narrative beneath the colors. It is a journey into the self — confronting the inner enemy, which, more often than not, is ourselves.
“I hope this piece helps viewers reflect on something they might have forgotten — like a mirror that shows you what you’ve avoided seeing. Sometimes we need to conquer our own ego in order to truly reconnect with who we really are.”
