1989年生于泰国曼谷,现工作和生活于泰国曼谷。贡坎于2007年毕业于凯塞特大学实验学院,2011年毕业于希尔帕克恩大学艺术学院。他近期曾在曼谷当代艺术博物馆(曼谷)、坪山美术馆(深圳)、当代唐人艺术中心(首尔、北京、曼谷)、 Over the Influence画廊(洛杉矶、巴黎)、曼谷河城古董艺术中心(曼谷)等机构举办个展。他的作品被曼谷当代艺术博物馆MOCA Bangkok(曼谷)、X美术馆(北京)等重要机构广泛收藏。

贡坎的作品被他命名为“感官艺术”,在纽约街头艺术界声名鹊起后回到曼谷,也迅速成为最具代表的新锐艺术家。时间元素也在贡坎的绘画中占据主导地位:他在超现实主义的画布上,用平面化的图形笔触描绘出人类形象,他们或在互动,或呈现出孤独姿态。尽管,柔和的色调和流畅的图形暗示一种宁静的质感,但从他画布上流露的平和却时常被醒目的黑色形态所模糊。


Born in 1989 in Bangkok, Thailand, lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand. Gongkan has graduated from Kasetsart University Laboratory School in 2007 and from Silpakorn University, Faculty of Decorative Arts in 2011. His solo exhibitions have been held at the MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art (Bangkok), Pingshan Art Museum (Shenzhen), Tang Contemporary Art (Seoul, Beijing, Bangkok), Over the Influence (Los Angeles, Paris), and River City Bangkok (Bangkok). His work is included in the public collections of MOCA Bangkok (Bangkok), X Museum (Beijing).

His work, which he named ‘Teleport Art’, gained notoriety in the New York street art scene and later in Bangkok. The element of time is a predominant concept in Gongkan’s paintings: surrealistic canvas, populated by human figures, realized with graphic flat strokes. Through presenting different visions of the present times or rewriting the past, the artist creates alternate realities in the process.
