ABOUT THE ARTIST / アーティストについて

James Prapaithong (b. 1996, Bangkok, Thailand) explores memory, isolation and longing through his filmic paintings which deliberately use the aspect ratio of the screen while often devoid of people. Resembling enlarged photographs of familiar yet distant places, and using high colour saturation with a particular attention to light, Prapaithong’s hazy, dream-like landscapes become vehicles to communicate the uncertainty of recall, the construction of memory, and the space between connection and estrangement. Particular elements like water, sky, and the stars, become vessels of yearning for Prapaithong - of which only light can define such potent visions and intimate emotions.

James Prapaithong currently lives and works in London. He received his BA in painting from Wimbledon College of Arts and MA in painting at the Royal College of Art. His recent exhibitions include: Strange Trails, Nova Contemporary, Bangkok (solo), Whisper, Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Shanghai (solo), Light Years, Workplace Gallery, London (solo), and A New Sensation, Galerie Marguo, Paris (group). Prapaithong’s work has been collected by He Art Museum (Shunde) and the artist has also been featured in Lux Magazine.


ジェームス・プラパイソンは1996年、タイ・バンコク生まれ。記憶、孤独、憧憬といったテーマを、映画のワンシーンのような絵画を通して探求。プラパイソンの作品は意図的にスクリーンのアスペクト比を使用し、人の姿はほとんど描かれない。見覚えがあるけれども同時にどこか距離感もある雰囲気を漂わせる拡大された写真のような作品は、鮮やかな色彩と光に対する特別なこだわりによって構成され、ぼんやりとした夢のような風景を通して、記憶の曖昧さやその構築、そしてつながりと疎外の間にある空間を表現しています。特に水や空、星といった要素は、光によって表情を変え、力強いビジョンや親密な感情を映し出すプラパイソンにとって憧れを注ぎ込む器とも言えます。


ジェームス・プラパイトンは現在ロンドン拠点。ウィンブルドン美術大学で絵画の学士号を、ロイヤル・カレッジ・オブ・アートで絵画の修士号を取得。近年の主な個展は、「Strange Trails」(ノヴァ・コンテンポラリー、バンコク・タイ)、「Whisper」(ハイブ現代美術センター、上海・中国)、「Light Years」(ワークプレイス・ギャラリー、ロンドン・イギリス)。主なコレクションに、和美術館(順徳・中国)。Lux Magazineにも掲載。
