The Crowded Paintings of Kiatanan Iamchan

Kiatanan Iamchan’s cacophonous paintings offer heaps of characters and unexpected elements, each assemblage acting as a growth adorning central figures. The artist says he's always had a passion for Thai fine art, in particular. Embedded in each of the paintings are cross-cultural, broad-scale reflections of an artist able to render multiple styles at once.

The artist says he’s always had a passion for Thai fine art, in particular. Embedded in each of the paintings are cross-cultural, broad-scale reflections of an artist able to render multiple styles at once.

“My works reflect this concept of Thai society,” the painter says. “(I’m) inspired by the mural painting in many temples of Thailand. My works express concept and emotion of living in positive and negative ways also attached the vision and instruction of the Buddhism for the mental thought. The artworks considered as a subjection belief by drawing a semi – cartoon mixed with semi – realistic. The period of time in his artwork seems to be mixed between past, present, and future.”

Those who follow in the footsteps of the Old Masters would gasp at Seth Alverson's raw depictions of the human body. From the Renaissance's advancements in rendering the idealized anatomy to today's Photoshopped magazine covers, Western culture has an ongoing obsession with depicting the nude figure in ways that few of us can actually live up to. Alverson throws these conventions out the window with his oil paintings.
Chinese artist Zhou Fan creates whimsical depictions of natural growths gone amuck: fungi, weeds and fluorescent drippings of alien goo stack upon characters' heads and faces like strange, invasive species. Fan says that the inspiration for these colorful paintings came from a dream he had in which jellyfish fell from the sky and became mushrooms. The human characters appear to be overtaken by these extraterrestrial entities as they lodge themselves onto their faces and limbs. Fan's paintings have a flat, illustrative quality that evokes Japanese Pop Art and animation (Miyazaki and Murakami come to mind when viewing his imaginative works). Fan described that in one piece, a little boy is crying because he doesn't want his dream to end, perhaps a reflection of the artist's own penchant for daydreaming and fantasizing.
Jessica Hess often tells people she paints landscapes, but "landscape" doesn't quite sum up the documentary function of her work. Her oil paintings are not about the buildings and the trees, but rather an ephemeral, fragile moment: when graffiti gets put up on city walls. The future of a piece of graffiti is unstable — it could be buffed or tagged the next day. Its longevity is unpredictable. Hess memorializes these ephemeral artistic expressions, choosing broken-down, tagged-up locales that inspire her in her daily surroundings in Oakland and San Francisco. Curator Ken Harman shared a story about how a group of people were moved by Hess's work when they saw the tag of their deceased friend in one of her paintings — an insignia that had heretofore been eradicated from the walls on which it was painted. His presence lives on in her work.
Tomokazu Matsuyama’s acrylic and mixed-media paintings move between mythology, abstraction, and contemporary narratives. With differing approaches, his vibrant works are inhabited by a variety of conversations and references to both classical and new approaches. The work also touches on street art, Edo Japanese tradition, and explorations of cultural identity. The artist was last featured on HiFructose.com here.
