Artist of the cover picture:
Peera Bangkae
Peera Bangkae is a native Chiang Mai artist who graduated from the Fine Arts Department at the Chiang Mai University with a major in Painting.
The main theme of Peera’s paintings is clearly elephants, which he likes to philosophize about as follows:
‘Elephants, in my perspective, are a reflection of humankind. In my works, elephants are living beings whose reactions are influenced by various social conditions.
Elephants, in urban areas, express a variety of feelings: happiness, fear, paranoia, hope.
Everything imparts change, resulting from social conditions within the varied contexts of space and time.
This includes human life.’
Peera usually names his paintings after streets in Chiang Mai, where he first spots the elephants which are the inspiration for his ensuing artwork.
ペーラ・バンケーはチェンマイ大学現代美術学部で絵画を専攻し卒業した純チェンマイ人のアーティストです。
彼の主なテーマは象ですが、彼は以下のように述べています。
私の考えでは象は人類を反映していると思います。私の作品で、象は色々な社会的状況の中で影響を受け反応している生き物です。
象は市街地で色々な感情を示します。喜び、恐れ、パラノイア、望みなどです。
すべてが変化を与え、空間と時間のさまざまな前後関係の範囲内の社会的状況から結果が生じます。
A selection of Peera’s artwork can be viewed at any time upon appointment with the artist himself. Please contact:

Somkeat Suriyavong
Somkeat Suriyavong is a young ambitious artist from Chiang Mai who is just about to graduate from the Fine Arts Department at Chiang Mai University.
Having majored in Painting, Somkiat’s techniques include oil and acrylic on canvas and mixed media. His paintings often display religious topics which may be partly due to the fact that Somkiat has previously converted from Buddhism to Christianity himself. Therefore, his artwork could be regarded as part of his inner journey of self-reflection. He typically takes religious figures or biblical events as the basic theme for his paintings and add his own interpretation to come up with unique and sometimes surreal pieces of artwork. Besides paintings, Somkiat also does sculptures, mostly in form of custom-work.
ソムキット スリヤウォンはチェンマイ大学現代美術科をもうすぐ卒業という若い熱心なアーティストです。
絵画を専攻してから、ソムキットはキャンバスに油とアクリルの2つを混ぜた手法をとりました。彼はしばしば宗教的な話題を描きますが、それは彼が以前仏教からキリスト教に転向したという事実からきているものだと思われます。それゆえ彼の作品は彼の内面への旅の一部と考えられます。彼は宗教的なものや行事をおもに彼の作品のテーマとしています。そして作品をよりユニークかつシュールなものにする為に彼の解釈が作品に加えられます。また絵画の他に主に受注品として彫刻もしています。
A selection of Somkiat’s artwork can be viewed at any time upon appointment with the artist himself. Please contact:
彼の作品は事前にアポイントメントをとっておけばいつでも見ることができます。
