Park Lobby at SO/ Bangkok will turn into a sleek, art gallery from January 29th, featuring Kostar’s collection of art pieces and Mister Balloons.
SO/ Bangkok kick-starts the brand-new 2020 with a dynamic showcase “Fly Me to the Moon” of French-born artist Kostar’s urban art and graffiti, including the space-trotter sculpture named Mister Balloon. On the launch day of January 29th, the Park Lobby of SO/ Bangkok will be transformed into an art gallery with Kostar’s selected masterpieces.
The artistic partnership with Kostar reflects SO/ Bangkok’s hallmark of blending art and hospitality, restyling the hotel interiors with thought-provoking art. Although the acclaimed urban artist Kostar was born in the 1970s in Paris, he has been based in and inspired by many different cities. Creative and inventive, Kostar experiments with a myriad of surfaces and textures to redefine urban art and graffiti. With a fun dose of humor and color, Kostar is best known for creating new dimensions, especially through artistic hybrids of two contrasting concepts.

Forward-thinking and audacious —similar to SO/ Bangkok’s persona — Kostar believes that the sky is barely the limit. He brought his latest sculptural figure Mister Balloon to 40-km high in outer space with a camera to witness it all. Made with fiberglass and chromium on stainless steel, Mister Balloon is a symbol of hope and liberty. The face of the character features a giant eye, signifying Mister Balloon and its artist’s global vision. And yet, his posture conveys fragility and perfect equilibrium.
