Tony paints hyperrealistic portraits of Muay Thai fighters—but with a twist. His boxers wear glittery eye shadow, floral phakhao ma (loincloths) made of lace, and pose against backgrounds of Japanese anime. He explores the tension between toxic masculinity in Thai rural culture and the underground queer nightlife of Bangkok. One of his pieces, Nak Muay Katoey, is permanently installed at the gallery’s entrance. longmint gallery thai

Atmosphere: Like many boutique galleries in Thailand, it typically offers a warm and personal environment, sometimes described by visitors of similar spaces as feeling like entering a private home or studio.
3. Grandma Fah (Intuitive Outsider Art)
At 78, Grandma Fah is the oldest artist on the roster. She is a former noodle vendor from Isaan who never painted until she was 70. Her works are chaotic, colorful, and psychedelic—depicting futuristic cities populated by cat-human hybrids and floating lotus flowers with computer chips. She represents the "untrained" spirit that Longmint celebrates. Her modest 30cm x 30cm canvases frequently command prices over $5,000 USD.
