Pakpoom Silaphan




Pop art, big brand logos and metal advertising displays fused with well known images and iconic figures, Pakpoom Silaphan brings it in his modern style pop art vision. Pakpoom Silaphan is a Thai-born artist, now living and working in London. East meets West in more ways than one.
The infiltration of western imagery and ideology had a profound influence on Silaphanʼs understanding of the West and on his artistic practice. Silaphan creates an engaging dialogue between the relationship between East and West, and the universal language of signs and symbols that is accessible to all and has been imprinted on to the universal collective consciousness.

Yves Medam

French born photographer Yves Medam forms large scale cubist like images. Through what looks like multi layered collages he recreates places and cities, adding a strange but enjoyable ambiance. Yves Medam distorts time and space, people cross paths except they were never in the same place at the same time. A fictional reality in existing surroundings.
In his own words, he is not a stranger to Hockney's polaroids.
These are from the 'Paris' portfolio.

Gideon Kiefer

The intriguing and mysterious works by Belgian artist Gideon Kiefer are filled with Doctors, scientists and nurses. Strange experiments and a dark atmosphere with mankind as a subject of research, drawn on the inside of book covers or ripped-out papers. Gideon Kiefer on his artwork; "There’s not really a general message. At my exhibitions I can see that everyone sees something else in my drawings. And I don’t really want to explain them, it takes away the mystery".

Jim Kazanjian

Not taking any photographs himself, is Jim Kazanjian an architect or a collage artist? One of his quotes:"I think of the work as a type of mutation which can haphazardly spawn in numerous and unpredictable directions."
Driven by the source material he uses up to 50 different pictures (found on the internet) in his imaginary architectural works.
