For more than three decades, since 1994, Narong Jarungthamchot – better known as Khod Khai Hua Ro – has recorded everyday political theatre through newspaper cartoons. His drawings tease authority with quick wit and barbed one-liners, the sort readers recognise instantly over morning coffee. Now the artist moves beyond the compact frame of daily strips. In the solo exhibition Designed to Lose: An Unfair Game, Khod presents a large series of paintings that confront the structures shaping Thai society. The tone remains mischievous, yet the scale changes everything. Figures stretch across canvases, symbols appear sharper, and familiar jokes carry heavier undertones. Years of observing power at close range feed this body of work. Inequality, monopolised influence and rigged systems form the backdrop, while Khod’s unmistakable humour continues to deliver the commentary.
