Tawee Rujaneekorn

Professor Tawee Rujaneekorn (Thai: ทวี รัชนีกร) was in 2005 named a National Artist of Thailand. He was a student of Professor Sin Phiirasii (Thai: ศิลป์ พีระศรี) and at Silipakorn University, and taught at Ratchamongkol University in Nakhon Ratchasima (Thai: มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลโคราช). Most of his works are two-dimensional paintings, but he also does multimedia, ceramic sculpture and watercolor. His work may be seen at his personal museum in Nakorn Ratchasima, where he lives.

Nearly all of the work of Professor Tawee is political in subject matter. Some is protest art specifically targeting controversial projects such as dams. Political figures and corruption are other frequent themes of his.
