Sakarin Krue-On is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on January 7, 1965 in Mae Hong Son, Thailand. Sakarin Krue-On (January 7 1965) is a modern Thai visually-oriented artist. His work tends to be specific to the site and incorporate tradition Thai influence. Krue-On is an art teacher and advisor to postgraduate students, as well as the Vice Dean for the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University. Krue-On lives and works in the metropolis of Bangkok but his projects and exhibits often involve him outside of Thailand.

“Terraced Rice Field” was designed to be part of Documenta 12 in the outside of the Schloss Wilhelmshohe museum building. With the assistance of volunteers from the local community, Krue-On constructed a functional rice field that was terraced on the slope of the hill nearby. According to the “Europe The Grand Tour: Contemporary Art’ article written by Julia Chaplin in on May 28th, 2007 in the New York Times the ‘Terraced Rice Field Art Project’ was described as follows:

In addition to the award, Niru Ratnam, Director of Prudential Eye Programme citing his work as “Whilst other successful Asian artists have sited their practice within a global language of contemporary practice, Krue-On continues to work through nuances specific to Asian cultural identity. For this, and for his international success, he is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the third Prudential Eye Awards.”

2007 was a year when rice plantation was not a very popular topic and was not a popular thing to be presented at various occasions like it is today. Sakarin had the idea of putting in a terrace to plant rice on the hillside of Schloss Wilhelmshohe in Kassel at the time that he first went into the city to inspect the areas.
