NEW Sculpture release
Teleport Cat by Gongkan
In his early career as an artist living & working in New York, Gonkgan discovered & developed the surreal dimensions & characters in his Teleport series.
Now based in his native city of Bangkok, Gongkan has extended the visual language of the Teleport world into metaphoric scenes reflecting on the state of the world, environment, political climate, & human nature.
As part of our ongoing collaboration with Gongkan as we watch him evolve and push himself into diverse mediums of expression, we are pleased to re-present our sculpture release Teleport Cat — A sweet & comforting embodiment of a cat part of his inner world, and now, part of yours.

Gongkan
Born and raised in Bangkok, Kantapon Metheekul graduated from the school of arts at Silpakorn University in Bangkok. Shortly thereafter, Gonkan 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.
Gongkan’s art incorporates symbols of everyday objects such as the sky, clouds
and water in his own unique way, illustrating the transformation of one object to another. He particularly likes to feature free-spirited forms of moving water. Each element references freedom.
