THE LIGHT & THE DARKNESS by Gongkan x Trendy Gallery

Thailands Trendy Gallery takes us into another dimension with “THE LIGHT & THE DARKNESS” by Thailand based artist Gongkan. The light and The darkness sculpture might have references to the Portal game, but underlining Gongkan gives us all a deeper meaning to the piece for The Light & The Darkness as this is comparable to our lives that sometimes have both light and dark sides, which are matter-of-factly parallel to each other. It is a link that supports both and cannot be separated from each just like how the day and the night that take turns predominating one over the other unceasingly. 

Coming in two versions Stainless steel and original colourway both limited edition. Gongkan’s new journey through the portal is presented through two male and female characters, The light and The darkness, representing both light and darkness as implied by their names.

About

GongKan

Kantapon Metheekul graduated from the school of arts at Silpakorn University in Bangkok. Shortly thereafter, Gonkarn moved to New York where he spent 3 years working in creative departments of advertising agencies. In his spare time, he created street art and illustrations centred on the idea of him being transported through time and space to his homeland. His work, which he named “Teleport Art”, gained notoriety in the New York street art scene.

Living in New York, he witnessed everyday life in the material world: people striving for a better life, gender and equality. The hope in an ultimate utopia being found by the subject of his art being found through a black hole.

Gonkan’s art incorporates unique symbols; black space, black circle, subtly implied or overlaid in his work. In his drawings of US President Donald Trump and the leader of the Democratic People’s republic of Korea (North Korea) Kim Jong-Un, the pair are teleported to a newly found dimension, kissing each other, despite a stark difference in ideology between the two nations.

Gongkan works in various media and materials: sculptures, paintings, street art, paint, fibreglass, metal… and even ice cream. His work has been shown around the world, in New York, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Bangkok, to name but a few.
