Bella Whittaker’s ‘babes’ set to land in Bangkok
Australian artist Bella Whittaker is bringing her series of illustration known as ‘babe’ featuring female figures to represent the diversity, yet a sense of individuality to Bangkok art scene.
Taking place from July 11 to September 16 at River City Bangkok, the exhibition titled “Bangkok Babe” aims to focus on individuality and a sense of being unique through the use of varied ethnicities from all over the globe, vibrant colour palettes and pattern on clothing.
The artist aims to represent unity within these pieces by having each individual babe in the same position or pose. This not only creates a cohesive body of work but reflects a sense of strength to allow the characteristics and personality of each individual babe radiate out.

Whittaker has began creating her ’babe’ endeavour since 2016 while she was a second year student in visual communication. She now sells original pieces, prints and merchandise globally. She prints her own merchandise by hand from her studio in Adelaide, Australia and has also collaborated with other creatives in different fields to produce work for Babes including writers, tattoo artists, mags and photographers.
She is constantly inspired to develop and grow the Babes brand as she does herself and is very much looking forward to international exhibitions this year.
