Biografia
Jade Chorkularb was born in Thailand in 1971, coming to London from Bangkok in 1996. She originally graduated in computer science (and also holds an MSc in Interactive Multimedia) before establishing herself as a conceptual artist. Her works are a reflection of her belief in Buddhism, particularly Anatta meditation (the practice of no self) and she uses diverse media such as painting, sculpture, video, performance and installation. Her art describes the way she views life and the way that she interprets the meaning of life. She likes to explore the human condition and then to try to find explanations through the process of creating art, which must, ultimately, be thought-provoking. Her pieces have been exhibited around the world from Berlin to Bogota and she was recently awarded one of the two student prizes in 2016 Jerwood Drawing Prize.
