Supachet Bhumakarn
Supachet Bhumakarn was born in Bangkok in 1978. He received his first arts education at the College of Fine Art Bangkok, before moving to Chiang Mai to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at the Fine Arts Department at Chiang Mai University, majoring in Painting.
It did not take long for Supachet to fall in love with his new home town Chiang Mai, where he felt drawn to its nature and animals, particularly elephants. Since he did not particularly like the elephants’ dull grey appearance, though, he starting painting abstract colorful elephants, dressed up, colorfully decorated, sometimes flying. Each of his paintings tells a story. Through his works he turns elephants into cute, seemingly sensitive subjects that everybody can identify with. Hence they are loved by both adults and children, Thais as well as foreigners.
Supachet’s paintings have been exhibited both in Thailand and abroad. But he has also developed his own line of products by the name ‘Things Called Art’, including postcards, T-shirts and notebooks, which are available in his boutique in Chiang Mai’s famous Night Bazaar.
A selection of Supachet’s works are exhibited at La Luna Gallery, and at Matoom Art Space II. His latest paintings can be viewed at http://supachet.goldentriangleart.com/.

スパチェット・ブマカーンは1978年にバンコクで生まれました。彼はバンコクの美術大学で最初芸術の教育を受け、その後チェンマイ大学の美術学部の印刷科で学士を得るためにチェンマイへ移りました。
スパチェットが彼の新しい故郷チェンマイと恋に落ちるには長くかかりませんでした。そこで彼は自然と動物、特に象に惹きつけられました。しかし彼は特に象の鈍い灰色がかった容姿は好きではなかったので、抽象的でカラフルな象や着飾ってカラフルに装飾され、また時々飛んでいる象を描き始めました。彼の作品のそれぞれが物語を語ります。彼の作品を通して彼は象をキュートで誰でも共感することのできる繊細なものにかえています。
スパチェットの絵画はタイや海外において展示されたことがあります。彼はまた葉書、Ｔシャツとノートを含む「芸術と呼ばれるもの」という名の彼自身の製品ラインも開発しています。それはチェンマイの有名なナイトバザールの彼のブティックで入手することができます。
スパチェットの作品はルナ・ギャラリー又はマットムーン・アートスペースⅡで展示されています。彼の最近の作品はhttp://supachet.goldentriangleart.com/.で見ることができます。

Born in Prajeenburi near Bangkok in 1975, Chalermon Jitjindarfirst studied at the Fine Arts College in Bangkok. He then completed both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Print Making at the Fine Arts Department of Chiang Mai University.
Some of Chalermchon’s first works were in the 3D space in form of abstract installations projecting reflective images. From this he took the inspiration for his paintings, which are all about patterns and geometric forms, such as circles and quadrangles in different arrangements and colors. Referring to his style as minimal abstract, Chalermchon applies both print making and painting techniques in his artwork. He particularly likes the simple patterns because ‘they have no meaning and express no feelings or emotions’. But every viewer interprets his own ideas into the images’.
A large selection of Chalermchon’s images is exhibited in his own gallery called ‘Blip Art’ at Chiang Mai’s Nightbazaar. This is also where the artist is often found chatting and philosophizing about art with fellow artists or foreign tourists. His works and more information about him can also be viewed online at chalermchon.goldentriangleart.com
1975年バンコクに近いプラジンブリーに生まれました。チャレムチョンは最初にバンコクの美術大学で学び、その後チェンマイ大学美術学部で学士と修士課程を修了しました。
チャレムチョンの最初の作品は反射イメージを写し出す抽象的な取付けの形態の3Dの空間でした。ここから彼は例えば異なる配列や色の円や四角形のようなパターンと幾何学的な形の絵画のインスプレーションを得ました。彼のスタイルは小さな抽象画と呼ばれますが、チャレムチョンは作品の中で印刷して描くというテクニックが見られます。彼は特に単純なパターンが好きで、なぜならそれらが意味を持たなく、感覚や感情を表現しないためだからです。しかしあらゆる視聴者は彼自身のアイデアをイメージし、解釈するのです。
チェレムチョンの作品は彼のギャラリーであるチェンマイのナイトバザールにある‶Blip Art″に展示されています。またここではアーティストが仲間のアーティストや外国の旅行者と芸術について雑談したり論議したりしているところがたびたび見られます。
彼の作品はchalermchon.goldentriangleart.comのオンラインページでも見ることができます。
