Tanom Kongchan, Thailand

Tanom-Kongchan

Tanom Kongchan was born in Chaiyaphum in North-Eastern Thailand in1970. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the Fine Arts Deparment at Chiang Mai University, majoring in Sculpture.

Coming from North-Eastern Thailand, a rather dry province with not much to offer in terms of vegetation, Tanom was most impressed by the beautiful scenery and nature of Northern Thailand when he first came to Chiang Mai. He was so fascinated by the beauty and variety of flowers that he soon started to focus on flower paintings after his graduation, even though he had majored in Sculpture. His initial style of realistic paintings has evolved over time and now also includes abstract work. For the latter Tanom likes to apply bright colors and to paint flowers in the shape of butterflies, melting these two objects of beauty into one. Besides flowers, Tanom also does landscape paintings.

A small selection of Tanom’s artwork is frequently exhibited at Panisa Gallery or the Tree House. His larger portfolio of paintings can be viewed at Tanom’s home and studio, and online at tanom.goldentriangleart.com.

タノム コンチャンは1970年タイ東北地方のチャイヤプームで生まれました。彼はチェンマイ大学美術学部で彫刻を専攻し修士課程を修了しました。

植物のほとんど育たないどちらかというと乾燥した地方の東北タイからやってきた彼にとって、始めて見るチェンマイの美しい自然や景色はとても印象深いものでした。彼は彫刻を専攻していましたが卒業後すぐ美しくバラエティーあふれた花に焦点を当てました。後に彼は明るい色を使うのを好み、蝶の形に似せて花を描きました。それは一見お互いを補強しあう二つの美の類似性を指摘する試みのようでもあります。花の他にタノムは風景画も描いています。

彼の決して多くはない作品はパニサギャラリー又はツリーハウスにて頻繁に展示されます。
彼のさらに大きな作品は彼の自宅またはスタジオ、そしてtanom.goldentriangleart.comのウェーブサイトでも見ることができます。
