” 穿越黑洞的创作美学?”泰国艺术家Gongkan创作出由现实通往自由的平行艺术宇宙。

The artistic creation of teleporting through black hole. Thai artist Gongkan creates a channel which can passes to art universe from reality to freedom. 

黑洞是个神秘的能量,据传它深不见底、以高速旋转、甚至可以穿梭时空,就连天文宇宙学家至今仍对它感到无比好奇,不过在艺术家的思考下,黑洞依旧谜样,却同样有着奇幻又耐人寻味的诠释!

Black holes are one of the most awesome and mysterious forces in the Universe. It is said that they are unfathomable, rotate at high speed, and even can travel through time and space. Even astronomer still feel very curious about it, but under the artist’s thinking, the black hole is still mysterious, and there is also a fantasy and intriguing interpretation.

生活于纽约的泰国新世代艺术家Gongkan,创作足迹遍及曼谷、纽约、古巴、首尔、上海、新加坡等地,其最为人熟知的系列作品 “Teleport 传送口”(译:瞬间移动),第一印象给人就如同黑洞一般的视觉感受,配合各式不同的人物角色宛如漂浮穿梭于其中,创造出一股既轻盈又超现实的氛围,而这个看似趣味的系列创作,灵感其实来自于艺术家浓浓的乡愁。

Gongkan is a new generation artist of Thai who lives in New York. He has traveled extensively in Bangkok, New York, Cuba, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, etc. His most well-known works “Teleport” give people a first impression like a black hole. With a variety of different characters, it’s like floating in and out through the hole, creating a light and surreal atmosphere. This seemingly interesting series of creations, in fact, comes from the artist’s strong nostalgia.

当他从家乡曼谷来到梦想之地纽约,面对生存与创作的考验而感到失望与无助时,Gongkan总会幻想自己拥有瞬间移动的超能力,能够带自己暂时逃离现实生活,因此他在画布上创造出一个个圆形的黑洞,使之化作移动的入口,在这平面的画作中,仅有头部或尾部露出的表现手法,就像是创造了一个观者不可见的隐形空间,让人得以让思绪前往内心的向往之境。

When he came to New York from his hometown, he was disappointed and helpless in the test of survival and creation. At that time, Gongkan always imagined that he had the super power of teleport and was able to take himself temporarily to escape from real life, so he created a circular black hole on the canvas to make it a moving entrance. In this painting, only the head or the tail is exposed, just like creating an invisible space to the viewer. It allows people to let their thoughts go to their inner aspirations.

Gongkan笔下的黑洞,翻转了时空的距离、巧妙地转换虚实、联系梦与现实。这些画作是Gongkan献给心碎之人最温柔的礼物,仿佛诉说着:“任何人都可以拥有一个暂时逃离现实的避世之所、任何梦想都有被实现的可能。”

Gongkan creates the black holes which reverse the distance of time, transform false and true, and connect dream and reality. These artworks  are the gifts Gongkan gives to the heartbroken people as if “Everyone can have a temporary place to hide from the reality. Every dream can come true.”

透过图像化的精练语汇,Gongkan谨慎地创造出一种社会对话情境,跨越国界的社群媒体上,以世界共通的幽默感,串联起一个令人向往的平行宇宙。

Through an imaged refinement vocabulary, Gongkan carefully creates a social dialogue situation that crosses national borders and social media, connecting a desirable parallel universe by a common sense of humor in the world.

从2019年开使Gongkan更又开始尝试立体相关的作品,试着将他 “Teleport 传送口” 的创作往立体的方式呈现。

Since 2019, Gongkan has begun to try three-dimensional works, trying to present his works-”Teleport” in a three-dimensional way.

「 亚洲插画艺术节 – 森林.宇宙.兔子洞 」
Asia Illustration Fair – Forest, Universe and Rabbit Hole

对于多数的创作者、艺术家而言,创作是落实想像力的一种途径,像一颗种子,经过想像力的灌溉长出一颗大树,进而长成一片森林。所创造出的世界总是天马行空,伴随着想像与创意,展现出千变万化的风貌和生命力。亚洲这块土地有着悠长的历史,各城市与地区蕴含多元文化,丰富的多样性透过插画艺术的对照就如森林一样有深意,在插画宇宙中遨游穿梭,有如钻进爱丽丝世界的兔子洞,期许下一片新森林的展现。
