ART: Kriangkrai Kongkhanun - The Torments of Sin

Kriangkrai Kongkhanun (เกรียงไกร กงกะนันทน์)
Blog  -  Facebook  -  Tumblr
[53 Images / 2 Pages]

   Kriangkrai Kongkhanun was born in 1980 & graduated with a Masters degree from Silpakorn University in Thailand. He attempts to characterize the dark thoughts & emotions of humans whose minds are seized by sin as described in different legends & ancient Buddhist scriptures. Kriangkrai's art depicts the abstract concepts of hatred, anger, vengeance, greed & jealousy, his Neo-Primitive designs symbolize the karma of humanity.

HAIKU Art Review: Wylona Rin

Engorged lips, wide eyes

More beautiful than she knows

White smoke drifts skyward

   There are a growing number of artist/models displaying their own sense of style to the world along with many female artists continually painting "selfies". If the 70s, 80s & 90s were about pop-psychology & searching inward to find oneself, then the start of this millennium seems to be expressing outward in hopes of receiving an echo of self.

   I have posted Wylona in my AZN Artist category, but she is not a typical artist. She doesn't paint, draw or sculpt. I guess she is a photographer, whose only subject is different versions of herself.

   Can the selfie be art? As far as I know, she styles herself, does her own make-up & takes most of her own photos. Is that not enough to be considered an artist?

Haiku Art Review: Japan Diaries by Yellowmenace

Passive AZNettes
Pretty package tied w/ rope
Slanted eyes = soul less

   Richeille Formento, a former graphic designer, styles and art directs the pictures, while her husband BJ Formento lights and photographs them.

   Everything begins with BJ's photography, in the frozen instant that will never return; and ends in Richeille's creative direction, in her slow, reflective, patient composition.

   BJ moved to NYC 1999 and assisted Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark, Annie Leibovitz and studied under Eugene Richards and Arnold Newman. Since 2001, he has set out on his own and has shot for numerous magazines and advertising clients as well as continued to mature in his personal work.

   Richeille worked as an art director and designer within the fashion industry, working for a large umbrella company responsible for visually communicating new season looks on all graphic works and brands like Calvin Klein, Diesel, DKNY and various other independent fashion labels.

"Here is ramen: where it came from, where it’s going and everything in between."

Must eat w/ chopsticks
Slurping makes it taste better
Hot long thin Yellow

   Ramen - So much of the experience of food - especially ramen - is in it’s presentation, and this exhibition aims to explore the history and cultural context of this Asian noodle dish.

   From cup ramen, ramen restaurants, home cooked ramen, haughty celebrity chef ramen, even just ramen blogs, have all fed into my love for this unique food.

   As a cultural phenomenon, ramen has sparked tens of thousands of restaurants worldwide & provided affordable comfort to millions of destitute college students across the globe.
