KAEWTRAKAN J.

Kaewtrakan Junlabol (Nymm) graduated with a bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Department of Thai Art, Silpakorn University in 2012. I grew up in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Southern Thailand. I was trained to be an artist and educated to be a creator and develop her hometown into a creative economic city. My grandmother had a very large rubber plantation in Trang Province. My grandfather also had a rubber plantation in Nakhon Si Thammarat. I grew up in a family of rubber farmers in Southern Thailand. Most of works are installations, mixed media, and live rubber performances, which take many forms and are often inspired by gender, the nature of the human mind, the relationship between flesh and mind, trends, and the environment. I an experimental work in terms of content, style, and the tendency to change over time, creating a unique viewing experience every time watches. I also creates art that respects the environment. I focuses on creating works that are interested in four essential things: using existing materials to create objects that create humans through clothing and other objects. After having a deep interest and looking back at the roots of culture, Looking back at our own background where we live in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, a former metropolis with a long history, we found that there are both old and new cultures. From the beginning, there were modern art, contemporary art, and mixed art without leaving the original form. It is defined as "THE RUBBER PARAdoxii". Rubber is a rubber that contradicts itself. Xii is the number 12, the root (number 12 is the 12 zodiac signs. Nakhon Si Thammarat is the symbol of the city). The popular material used in production is local rubber. I want to restore the dignity, revive rubber by using both concentrated latex and rubber sheets to create art for the green economy and sustainability. The rubber is flexible, soft, and strong. Concentrated latex is like the flesh of a tree. When cut, there will be wounds from the wound. If we compare it to human life through time, even though there are both good and bad memories, happiness and sadness, it is still considered a form of art. Working on art, design, science, and culture that defines the relationship between matter and the new environment. Humans have built buildings with bricks, cement, steel, and glass for thousands of years. Transforming, forming, creating objects to support life on the surface of the earth, covering underground and above ground, just like other animals. But in addition to these materials, we also develop carbon fiber and plastic. And these materials have left their mark on this world. Can we understand the context of this nature by designing a way out of it? If we want to survive, we must also learn about the emergence and disappearance of the matter of this world. I often ask, "How can art from nature make nature exist?" In the creation of the whole cycle of life, which is recycled, it has to calculate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Playing with the matter of the earth's crust sometimes creates an impulse with social awareness, an impact that causes continuous evolution of thought. Also, Mother Nature, we have a responsibility to Mother Nature. But as something that is asking for love now, So we have always lived with nature.
