關於

    Alex Face(Patcharapon Tangruen)是一位泰国的街头艺术家和画家,他通过壁画、画布绘画和巨大的青铜雕塑表达自己的艺术。他已经迷住了全球的艺术爱好者。

    他的街头艺术以独特的风格为特点,跟涂鸦的新鲜和直接的语言与高超的绘画技巧相结合,创造出具有不可磨灭影响力和精致内容的艺术作品。

    他在泰国获得了认可。后来在国际上取得了成功,这要归功于他极具辨识度的图像符号,吸引了他所介入的城市居民的目光。他通过在公共空间中进行的大规模绘画,鼓励人们反思当代社会主题。

    他的名声在2009年达到了巅峰,那一年Alex Face成为了一位父亲。这一时刻引发了对他女儿将在其中成长的世界的强烈不确定感。Mardi,他的女儿,是Face艺术创作中的恒定存在,她的好奇而关切的目光成为了Face艺术视野的核心主题。

    在他的大画布上,有时她被描绘成一只装扮成兔子或有三只沉睡而又带着讽刺的眼睛的图腾。她观察着观众,传达出深刻的脆弱感。

    Alex Face参加了许多国际街头艺术节,比如法国里昂的Peinture Fraîche Festival(2019)。他最近的展览包括在美国洛杉矶的Thinkspace Gallery(画廊I)举办的"Scorch and Drop"(2021年),在泰国曼谷的BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY举办的"Monument of Hope"(2020年),以及在新加坡的Art Porters Gallery举办的"Fragile"(2020年)。此外,他的作品还被收藏在曼谷的MOCA(曼谷当代艺术博物馆)永久收藏中。

    Alex Face (Patcharapon Tangruen) is a Thai street artist and painter who has captivated art enthusiasts worldwide, expressing himself through murals, canvas paintings, and enormous bronze sculptures. His street art is characterized by a unique style that combines the fresh and immediate language of graffiti with virtuoso painting technique, resulting in art with an indelible impact and elaborate content. He gained recognition in Thailand and later achieved success internationally, thanks to his highly recognizable iconography that engages the gaze of city dwellers in the places he intervenes, through massive paintings in public spaces that encourage reflection on contemporary social themes. His fame reached its peak in 2009, the year Alex Face became a father, a moment that brought about a strong sense of uncertainty about the world in which his daughter would grow up. Mardi, his daughter, is a constant presence in Face's artistic production, with her curious and concerned gaze becoming the central theme of Face's artistic vision. In his large canvases, she is sometimes depicted disguised as a bunny or as a totem with three sleepy and ironic eyes, observing the viewer and conveying a profound sense of weary vulnerability. Alex Face has participated in numerous international street art festivals such as Peinture Fraîche Festival in Lyon, France (2019). His recent exhibitions include "Scorch and Drop" at Thinkspace Gallery (Gallery I) in Los Angeles, USA (2021), "Monument of Hope" at BANGKOK CITYCITY GALLERY in Bangkok, Thailand (2020), and "Fragile" at Art Porters Gallery in Singapore (2020). He also boasts an artwork in the permanent collection of the MOCA in Bangkok.
