Province: Bangkok
Event Date: 16 August - 5 October 2025
What Is the Starfy Universe?
Starfy Universe centers around the character Starfy, a being born from the stars who drifts through the universe in a quiet search—for identity, for connection, maybe for its “true home”.
In this art show, Starfy transforms shape depending on surrounding energy and the artist’s inner world. Paintings, sculptures, mixed media works combine to reveal both fantasy and vulnerability, blending toy art with emotional storytelling. It’s playful on the surface, but underneath there’s a thoughtful meditation on memory, longing, and uncertainty.
Must‑See Zones and Highlights
While there’s no formal zone map, there are standout pieces and moments in Starfy Universe. Look for Lee Yeonwoo’s hand‑painted sculptures of Starfy at various scales—some small and almost hidden, others large enough to feel like you could step into their orbit.
The paintings are acrylic and oil pastel, dripping with color, softness, and a hint of melancholy. One piece, “At Peace Again,” shows Starfy looking up to constellations, blending pastel strokes with abstract light. Another, “Rainbow’s First Friend,” feels like witnessing a meeting between Starfy and its cosmic echo.
Location, Tickets & Visiting Info
You’ll find Starfy Universe at Trendy Gallery, 2nd Floor, River City Bangkok (Charoen Krung 24, Talat Noi, Samphanthawong). The venue is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM‑7:00 PM, closed on Mondays. Entry is free, which makes it perfect for wandering without pressure. If you’re in the area, popup stations, small merch booths, and the gallery café add a nice pause between artworks.
Best Tips for Visitors
To get the most out of Starfy Universe, go mid‑week (Tuesday‑Thursday) to avoid crowds. Take your time—look for the smaller sculptures tucked in corners, read the plaques (they give context to Starfy’s shape changes and what each piece means). If you’re coming from far, combine this with a visit to the nearby walking street of Talad Noi or the old streets of Charoen Krung for food, photo ops, and history. Comfortable shoes are a must!
Where Play Becomes Inner Space
Starfy Universe isn’t just a place to take pretty pictures (though your camera roll will thank you)—it’s a soft, glowing portal into childhood emotions and quiet wonder. And if you’re planning to explore Bangkok’s creative spots all in one go, don’t forget to grab your TAGTHAi Pass for access to other nearby cultural gems, riverside experiences, and seamless travel convenience. Starfy might be searching for its place in the galaxy—but you might just find yours in Bangkok.
