Tintin Cooper (born 1982, Bangkok) is a mixed Thai-English artist working in Berlin and Bangkok. She grew up in over 17 countries and regularly cites this chaotic influence on her works which take the form of image and video appropriations, light work, painting and installations.

In 2019 she was shortlisted for Contemporary Visions 9 at Beers Gallery in London

In 2018 she took part in the Bangkok Biennial with a solo exhibition at Artist+Run Gallery.

She grew up in various refugee camps, has recreated her childhood living experiences in her exhibition You Only Live Twice. She designed a network of tunnels that viewers must crawl through for her first exhibition at Silpakorn University's PSG Gallery, Bangkok. (February 2007)

Tintin Cooper’s photographic collages weave together different images in popular media. The precision cut outs obscure figures’ faces, hiding their identity, and exploring deeper themes of celebrity (especially in sports). The Bangkok-born artist says, “My work takes its starting point from icons/images of masculinity, heroism and male identity, which are subsequently deconstructed through the mediums of sculpture, installation and collage.”

She was in 'Lifeboat #2551' as part of the Sydney Biennale Projects, in Gallery 4A, also known as the Asia-Australia Arts Centre. The exhibition screened video and film works by artists Wit Pimkanchanapong, Sakarin Krue-on, Tintin Cooper, [Momokomotion], Manit Sriwanichpoom and Michael Shaowanasai.
