Abstract
This research aims to examine the issue of social criticism in contemporary Thai art, as well as the outcomes of Thai fine arts with social criticism from 2014 to 2020. This is done by analyzing socially critical works of art, activities related to fine arts, articles, reviews, and interviews with individuals in the field of fine arts. It was discovered that the phenomenon of social criticism in art has persisted since before 2014, during a period of rebellion, and continued under a dictatorial government until 2020. The number of such works continues to rise, addressing more issues than ever before, such as gender diversity, equality, civil rights, environment, and education. This has resulted in art practice activities created by groups of creative people from various fields and the public, who use the art space to convey meaningful connections to social issues. This art community is no longer confined only to art galleries or art museums.
