Oh de Laval is the sobriquet of Olga Pothipirom, an artist of half Polish, half Thai descent. Oh’s work is concerned with human behaviour: the decisions we make, why we make them and how we feel as a result.These decisions are windows into our very personalities. In this spirit, each of Laval’s paintings acts as a window into her character, her pleasures and her imaginings. Oh studied industrial design for two years, something that manifests in the interiors she paints. She then moved on to study sociology where she became fascinated by Durkheim’s notions of deviance, an interest that still influences her work today.
