Rosewood Bangkok presents graffiti art superstar in “Thaï Love” art exhibition
Rosewood Bangkok presents a solo exhibition by abstract expressionist graffiti painter JonOne from 17 March to 16 June 2023, the latest in its quarterly rotating exhibitions showcasing local and international artists.
Featuring never-before-seen artworks inspired by Thailand and created especially for the exhibition, “Thaï Love” opens on 17 March 2023 at The Art Gallery on the 3 rd floor of Rosewood Bangkok, where it will remain open to the public for three months. Entry to the exhibition is complimentary.
JonOne started tagging in the 1980s New York during the height of the city’s graffiti movement and where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol at Studio 54. A signature of his art, the streaks of colors pay homage to his roots, representing the movement of subway train graffiti reproduced on canvas. Drawing inspiration from works of masters ranging from Kandinsky to Matisse and Pollock, JonOne’s works are known for their explosions of vibrant colours which breathe life into voids.

About the artist
Born to Dominican parents in New York, JonOne – whose real name is John Perello – moved to Paris in the late 1980s following a meeting with artist and record producer Bando (Philippe Lehman), where he continued to pursue his artistic endeavors amongst celebrated artists of the time. Soon after, JonOne exhibited in Berlin, then Paris, and had one of his first solo exhibitions in Monaco. Since then, his works have graced galleries worldwide, from Tokyo to Geneva, New York, Hong Kong, and Brussels, along the way collaborating with companies including Leclerc, Lacoste, Guerlain, Perrier, Thalys, Agnès B, Air France, and Tumi. JonOne is also involved in charity projects in France, including creating a monumental fresco to shine the light on the plight of homeless people, and revamping Eric Cantona’s Rolls Royce with proceeds benefiting to the cause.
