“AI BUBBLE” CHEESE ARNON
““In an age obsessed with polish and perfection, AI Bubble offers something rarer: honesty shaped by adaptation.””
In AI Bubble, artist Cheese Arnon invites viewers into a world where resilience, identity, and adaptation collide with the surreal logic of our increasingly artificial age. Opening Saturday, January 10 from 6–10 pm, the exhibition centres on Arnon’s recurring fox character—an emblem of survival navigating a landscape shaped as much by inner struggle as by external systems.
At the heart of AI Bubble is the fox: clever, observant, and endlessly adaptable. For Arnon, this figure is deeply personal. The fox becomes a mirror of the artist himself—one who has learned to endure, evolve, and persist even when circumstances feel hostile or unpredictable. In a world dominated by algorithms, surface perfection, and rapid consumption, Arnon’s fox remains alert and alive, moving intelligently through chaos rather than succumbing to it.
The title AI Bubble subtly gestures toward our collective moment—an era inflated by artificial intelligence, digital identities, and curated realities. Arnon’s work does not reject this environment outright; instead, it questions how one survives within it without losing authenticity. His fox exists inside the bubble, yet refuses to be flattened by it.
Born in 1986 in Thailand, Arnon Neiysoongnoen, known professionally as Cheese Arnon, began his artistic journey rooted in traditional art forms. Largely self-taught, he learned by studying the work of artists before him while relentlessly experimenting with technique, material, and form. This hybrid approach—honouring tradition while bending it—has become a defining characteristic of his practice.
Throughout his career, Arnon has remained intentionally versatile, moving fluidly across styles and formats. His signature fox is less a single image than a shifting presence, capable of embodying multiple visual languages within one composition. Much like the animal itself, the character adapts, shape-shifts, and survives.
Materiality plays a crucial role in Arnon’s work. Cracked surfaces, imperfections, and fractured textures are not accidents to be concealed, but deliberate choices that heighten emotional depth. These fissures speak to endurance—evidence of pressure rather than failure. By allowing the medium to behave unpredictably, Arnon transforms perceived flaws into narrative strength.
There is wit in Arnon’s work, but also vulnerability. AI Bubble is not only a commentary on external systems; it is a quiet acknowledgement of the time, perseverance, and resilience required to arrive at one’s own voice. The fox, praised and protected by the artist, stands as a symbol of gratitude—for survival, for community, and for those who recognize themselves within its gaze.
In an age obsessed with polish and perfection, AI Bubble offers something rarer: honesty shaped by adaptation. Cheese Arnon reminds us that survival is not about dominance, but awareness—and that even inside the most inflated realities, it is still possible to move with intelligence, integrity, and heart.
