There’s a certain kind of visual maximalism that doesn’t beg for attention so much as demand it – Hugo Brun’s work is exactly that. Loud in the best way, his pieces flirt with chaos: clashing colours, cartoonish proportions and the bold swagger of pop art unbothered by subtlety. His furniture sits somewhere between sculpture and set piece – chairs that feel like they might wink at you, tables that seem halfway to melting. It’s no surprise they’ve become backdrops for a thousand selfies, but there’s more to them than surface spectacle. Beneath the gloss and playful disorder lies a wink to nostalgia, a rebellion against beige interiors, and the refusal to be tasteful in a world that insists you should be. Burn isn’t decorating – he’s declaring. Until October 18. Free. River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm

The vividly instinctual universe of Phannapast Taychamaythakool, where paintings, prints and mixed media become conduits for love, fear and imagination. Known to many as a contemporary Thai artist and designer who has collaborated with Gucci, Sulwhasoo, Anthropologie, Jim Thompson, Lucaris, Balvenie and Swatch, her work here reveals a quieter, more intimate language. Each piece maps an emotional journey – tracing where feelings linger, how they shift and the ways they signal themselves. Her imagination acts as both compass and release, transforming private reveries into forms that pulse with life and sincerity. In this exhibition, instincts are not just expressed but embraced, leaving the viewer with a body of work that feels tender, unguarded and profoundly human. Until September 15. Free. Rivercity Bangkok, 10am-7pm

Meet Starfy, a starfish with amnesia and a restless urge to look skyward. For Korean artist Lee Yeonwoo, this lost little creature isn’t just a toy – it’s a mirror. Starfy Universe, his first solo show, transforms the character into paintings and hand-painted sculptures that double as fragments of autobiography. The story goes like this: Starfy wakes beneath the night sky, unsure of who they are, but convinced those distant lights might hold the answer. From there begins a cosmic wander, shape-shifting to survive whatever world comes next. It’s whimsical, yes, but also quietly profound. Every piece folds back onto Lee himself, tracing resilience, longing and the strange comfort of reinvention. Think less cartoon mascot, more alter ego navigating the chaos of memory and identity. Until October 5. Free. Trendy Gallery, River City Bangkok, 10am-7pm
