Therdkiat Wangwatcharakul
Therdkiat Wangwarcharakul was born in 1971 and graduated with a Master Degree in painting from Silapakorn University in 2003. He paints with oil on aluminum sheets, and the unusual use of this material contributes to creating a somewhat rustic or deprived atmosphere to his works. His paintings often focus on life as a constant struggle for poor people in the city.
No objects are in the settings - leftovers from the middle class are being recycled and the stray dogs become devoted companions. The use of aluminum sheets as a medium, which is a material that is recycled by garbage collectors in the city, contributes to a kind of real-life experience to his paintings.
A selection of Therdkiat’s works are exhibited at La Luna Gallery.
トゥーキアット・ワンワットチャラクンは1971年に生まれ、2003年シラパコーン大学の美術学部修士課程を卒業しました。彼はアルミニウムシートの上に油で絵を描きますが、この一風変わった材料の使い方は彼の作品に幾分か素朴で、また貧困な雰囲気をつくっています。彼の作品は都市の貧しい人々の絶え間なく続く葛藤に焦点をあてています。
物がないという設定－中流階級の残り物はリサイクルされ、野良犬が忠実な仲間となります。媒体としてアルミニウムシートを使用していますが、それは都市のごみ収集人によってリサイクルされた材料であり、彼の絵画において一種の現実体験が影響しています。
ラ・ルナ・ギャラリーにおいてトゥーキアット氏の厳選された作品が展示されています。

Chatchawan Nilsakul
Chatchawan Nilsakul was born in Ayudhya and received his Bachelor’s degree from the Fine Arts Department at Chiang Mai University. He then spent a number of years in the USA where he completed Master’s degree at the University of Oregon at Eugene.
It was mainly during his years in the USA and a few stints in Japan when Chatchawan developed his very own style of paintings. He uses mixed media for his paintings and usually applies bright colors. Corresponding to his lifestyle, he does not want to be bound by borders and norms. As such, he does not like to use frames for his pictures, and he likes open space for his images, such as paintings on walls which he will erase just after completing them. He is also drawn to unclear digital images, which is reflected in many of his paintings appearing to be digitally distorted.
Chatchawan exhibits his works in his own gallery – Ji--Qoo Gallery – which he opened more than a year ago together with his Japanese wife on trendy Nimmanhemin Road.
チャットチャワン・ニルサクンはアユタヤで生まれ、チェンマイ大学美術部の学士号を受け取りました。その後、彼は、ユージーンのオレゴン大学で修士号を修了したアメリカで数年を過ごしました。
チャットチャワンが彼独特の絵画スタイルを開発したのは、アメリカでの何年間と日本でのわずかな期間です。彼の絵画は媒体をミックスさせ、たいてい鮮やかな色をしています。国境や社会によって拘束されたくないということは、彼のライフスタイルにあてはまっています。そのため彼が絵画にフレームをつけるのを嫌がり、例えば完成した直後に消してしまう壁の絵画のようなオープンスペースを好みます。さらに彼は不明瞭なデジタル画像に魅力を感じ、それが彼の絵画の多くがデジタルで変形したように見えることに反映しています。
チャットチャワンは彼のギャラリーで作品を展示しています。
Ji--Qooギャラリー は１年以上前に日本人の妻と一緒にオープンしました。
