Rungsak Dokbua
Mr. Rungsak has been among the shining stars of Chiang Mai’s artist scene for many years. Being born in Kamphengphet, Thailand, in 1967, he holds degrees in Fine Arts both from Chiang Mai University and Silapakorn University. His art has over the years been widely exhibited in both Thailand and the United States, where conosceurs particularly like his abstract paintings, people’s portraits, and Computer Graphic art. Many of his works use abstract elements to underline the importance of the main symbols of Thai society, such as the King and Buddha, resulting in very powerful images. In other works, his son is the central theme.
According to Mr. Rungsak, Art is the revelation of inner values and abstract thought. “The power of the imagination will help us travel beyond ordinary thought toward the insight that everything is related.”
Mr. Rungsak recently completed a series of portraits of the King, a selection of which is currently exhibited at the Gongdee Gallery:

ルンサック・ドックブア
ルンサック･ドックブア氏はチェンマイのアートシーンの中で長年にわたって活躍してきました。
1967年タイ・カンパンペット生まれの彼はチェンマイ大学美術学部修士課程を修了後、シラパコーン大学美術学部を卒業しました。彼の芸術活動は長年にわたってタイとアメリカで幅広く行われており、芸術をこよなく愛する人々の間で彼の抽象画や肖像画、コンピューターグラフィックなどが好まれています。彼のあらゆる作品は、タイ社会において最も重要なシンボル王と仏陀を強調し、その他彼の作品で強力なイメージとして残るのは彼の息子を中心にしたテーマのものです。
ルンサック氏によると、芸術は内面の価値観と抽象的な考えの暴露であり、‶想像力は私たちを通常の考えから、すべてのことには関連性があるといったことを深く理解するのに手助けとなる″としています。
ルンサック氏は数多くのチェンマイの芸術家を後輩に持ち、チェンマイ大学美術学部の講師でもあります。彼が教鞭に立たない時、通常自宅兼工房で絵を描いています。そこはとても素敵な奥様と息子さんに出会えるチャンスを与えてくれるかもしれません。つまり彼はいつでもおしゃべりしたりお互いのアイデアを交換したりするために、興味のある人々を歓迎しているのです。

Sutthisak Phuthararak
Mr. Sutthisak is a highly-recognized teacher of Sculpturing at the Fine Arts Department at Chiang Mai University.
He has drawn the inspiration for his own works from the figures commonly found in Thailand’s Buddhist temples. Based upon that he has come up with his own style of sculptures, showing life-size human figures - mainly women – that in their appearance combine modern with traditional Thai elements. The sculptures often display common motions, thus stressing the importance of seemingly unimportant gestures in people’s daily lives. Mr. Sutthisak uses mainly plaster for his works and often applies bright colors to seemingly make his figures come alive. .
Selected pieces of Mr. Sutthisak’s works are currently exhibited at the Center for the Promotion of Arts and Culture at the Chiang Mai University.
スティサック氏はチェンマイで彫刻を活動の基盤としている芸術家の中で特別優れた人物の一人です。彼は、チェンマイ大学の現代美術学部で彫刻の修士号を持っています。彼は現在ここで学生たちに彼自身の知識と技術を伝えています。スティサック氏は一般的なタイの仏教寺院にて見られる宗教的な像からインスピレーションを受けています。このことから例えばエキゾティックな女性がタバコを吸ったり、女性が立ち話をしているところなど、一般的な動作における実物大の人物像をあらわすことで、彼自身の彫刻のスタイルを思いつきました。スティサック氏は主に石膏を彫刻に使い、また明るい色使いをしています。このようにして現実的な要素を結びつけることにより生き生きとした姿を表現しています。
スティサック氏は過去にバンコクとチェンマイに展示会を行っています。そこで彼はチェンマイ大学アートプロモーションセンターで選んだ作品を展示しています。
