With a Masters degree in Fine Art from Silpakorn University (2021) under her belt, Lingee Bangkhunted is an emerging artist in Thailand’s contemporary art scene. Her interest ranges from painting expressive whimsical animals in dapper vintage clothing to her signature steampunk marine animals. Her marine animal series of whales, sharks and tropical fish feature different metal shields, gears, levers, nuts and bolts, pipes, and a meter clock with distinctive eyes. A common find throughout her paintings and series are mechanical devices/instruments with numbers such as a pocket watch or meter gauges.
The artist portrays details of meter gauges and watches imagery within most of her paintings which could be read as the measure of time or pressure where the turning of both is seen as constant, moving and mechanical, which maybe even serves as a reminder to her viewers.
The subjects under Lingee Bangkhunted’s brushes carry dreams and inspire the courage to move ahead towards unknown adventures.
凭借着2021年在泰国席尔帕空大学获得的美术硕士学位,Lingee成为了泰国当代艺术界的新兴艺术家。她的兴趣广泛,从绘制穿着时髦复古服装的富有表现力的古怪动物到她标志性的蒸汽朋克海洋动物。她的海洋动物系列包括鲸鱼、鲨鱼和热带鱼,它们身上有不同的金属盾牌、齿轮、杠杆、螺丝和螺母、管道,还有一只带有特殊眼睛的仪表钟。她的绘画和系列中普遍存在的是带有数字的机械装置/仪器,比如怀表或仪表盘。
艺术家在大部分绘画中描绘了仪表盘和手表的细节图像,这可能被理解为时间或压力的度量,其中它们的转动被视为持续、运动和机械化,甚至可能作为对观众的提醒。Lingee的画笔下的主题承载着梦想,并激发了勇气,前往未知的冒险。
Her series Mechanical Marines consists of whales, sharks and tropical fish featured as industrial mechanisms- with metal shields, gears and levers, nuts and bolts, pipes and wires, meter clocks, among others.
The mechanical marine animals are found to have sails and flags flying atop its sturdy body- which is presented with a distressed look (with rust, scratches and dents) – projecting an idea of an arduous voyage, perhaps undertaken, and still bound for an onward route. The body and mechanisms still appear strong- through its wear and tear- objectifying endurance in its expedition.
