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。

Zaw Win Pe was born in 1960 in Le Gaing, Mague Division in Central Myanmar (former Burma). He attended the State School of Fine Art in Yangon.
Besides doing his own artwork, Zaw Win used to work as a magazine illustrator and poster painter. His paintings have been displayed at numerous exhibitions in Myanmar, Thailand (Chiang Mai), Singapore and Hong Kong. Zaw Win’s favorite theme is landscape, portrayed in a semi-abstract style, applying rich colors. He describes his inspiration and artwork as follows. “I am inspired by landscape themes, not with the thought of painting particular places, but of expressing elemental moods and emotions. But the paintings never lack the geographical and environmental characteristics of the places I paint. Color is key for me. I believe color can speak everything about human’s feelings and thoughts.
A selection of Zaw Win Pe’s works are exhibited at Suvannabhumi Art Gallery in Chiang Mai.
ザウ ウィン ぺは1960年ミャンマー中央部の（昔のビルマ）Le Gaing, Magueで生まれました。彼はヤンゴンの公立の芸術学校に通っていました。
彼は彼のアートワークのほかに雑誌のイレストレートやポストカードの絵を描いたりしていました。彼の絵はミャンマー、タイ(チェンマイ)、シンガーポール、香港などの多数の作品展で展示されています。ザウ ウィンの好みのテーマは半抽象的に描写され豊かな色で描く風景画です。彼は彼のインスピレーシヨンおよびアートワークを次の通り述べています。
「私は景色というテーマに感銘を受けます。それは特定の場所を描くという考えではなく、自然のムードや感情を表現したものです。しかし絵画は決して私の描く場所の地理的また環境の特徴を欠いていません。色は私にとって鍵なのです。私は色が人間の感情と考えのすべてを語ることができると思っています。」
ザウ ウィン ぺの作品はチェンマイのスワナプームアートギャラルーにて展示されています。またhttp://www.goldentriangleart.com/. でも見ることができます。

How is today's digital and high-tech world effecting art? Figurative painting is one of the most basic styles of art, reflecting human form and circumstance. The depiction of the human form using basic methods is being influenced, both consciously and unconsciously, by the current digital age. This exhibition by 6 Chiang Mai-based artists explores the redefinition of the meaning of figurative art in this new era.
