Jittiwut Sriyang
Jittiwut Sriyang is an ambitious young artist from Korat, Thailand. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Art in Chiang Mai in 2003.
Even though he has lived in Chiang Mai for many years, he maintains an ambition to observe the Chiang Mai lifestyle as an outsider and to paint his view of the happier side of life – the joy, the fun, the ladyboys, the festivals, the ’sanuk’ – all in a colourful and semi-abstract way. Some of his paintings might look happy but they have a degree of social commentary and criticism in them, and Mr. Jittiwut does not shy away from issues such as rape, suicide and corruption.
His style is unique, but some of his paintings could lead to the conclusion that Dali must be his favourite master. Jittiwut’s technique is acrylic and crayon on canvas.
A selection of Mr. Jittiwut’s works is exhibited at the La Luna Gallery.
ジチウィット スリヤンはコラートの若い意欲的なアーティストです。
彼は2003年チェンマイの現代アート学部を卒業しました。
彼はチェンマイに長く住んでいたにもかかわらず、部外者としてチェンマイのライフスタイルを観察し続け、人生における幸福な側面 ―喜び・楽しみ・レディーボーイ・お祝い・“サヌック”―すべての色彩豊かな半ば抽象的な風習を彼の視点から描いてきました。彼の作品は幸福そうに見えるかもしれませんが、彼らの中にはある程度の社会的な解釈と批評があるのです。そして、ジチウィット氏はレイプ、自殺と腐敗といった問題からも目を背けないのです。
彼のスタイルはユニークですが彼の作品から“ダリ”が彼の最も好んだ師匠であるに違いないという結論に至ります。ジチウィット氏の手法はキャンバスにアクリルとクレヨンです。
ジチウィット氏の選出された作品はルナギャラリーに展示してあります。

Lu Minn
Lu Minn was born in 1947 in Myanmar and graduated from the Yangon School of Fine Arts in the late 1960s. He is highly recognized in the Myanmar art scene and his works have been exhibited both in Myanmar and internationally.
His latest work is a collection of paintings entitled ‘Behind the Curtain’. He drew the inspiration for these paintings from visit to a night club where he could only see the clothes of the people under the neon light, but not their faces. He then applied his observance to a traditional Myanmar dance called ‘The dance of the lady performers’, which is a spiritual dance typical for the region. He does not portray the lady dancers during their performance, though, but during their recess behind the curtains where they are waiting for their moment in the limelight.
A selection of Lu Minn's paintings are displayed at this month's 'Myanmar Contemporary Art Exhibition' at CMU Art Center. Please refer to 'Arts&Exhibitions' below for more information.
ル ミン
ル ミンは1947年ミャンマーで生まれ、1960年代末にヤンゴン現代アートスクールを卒業しました。彼はミャンマーのアートシーンでは認知度が高く、彼の作品はミャンマー国内外で展示されています。
彼の最近の作品は“カーテンの後ろ”というタイトルの絵のコレクションです。彼はよく訪れるというナイトクラブでインスピレーションを受けて絵を描いています。そこではネオンライトの下見えるのは人々の服だけで、その表情は見えません。そして彼は “女性演技者によるダンス”と呼ばれるミャンマーの伝統的なダンスに彼の慣習を当てはめるのです。それは地方で象徴される神聖な踊りなのです。
彼は彼女たちが踊っているところよりも、彼女たちが出番を待ってカーテンの後ろで休憩しているところを描くのです。
