CHAZILLA ATTACK IN BANGKOK

November 15 – December 14, 2025

  

Half-elephant and half-Godzilla creatures have roamed the expanse of Shin Koyama’s imagination and artistic work since he moved to Chiang Mai many years ago. Chazilla typifies Koyama’s style of historical fiction: layering references from Japanese history, culture and art of all eras, embedding stories from his life and travels, and wrapping it all in color, whimsy and joy. Between different concepts, accessories and details, Chazilla can give cute, punk and macabre- an uninhibited and original form of cultural commentary in Arita porcelain.

コリーの死後、すでに早くも9年経ち、今回、僕の好きなメルボルンにてコリーの劇が上演されるにあたり、その時に、僕の仕事と、そしてコリーと家族への思いが展示という形でみなさまと天国にいるコリーに見ていただけたら幸いです。僕の心の中では、彼女は、いま、山ひとつ越えた向こうの村で暮らしていると思っています。コリーに感謝を込めて、コリーとの33年間の生活は幸せでした。

 

My practice brings together contemporary arrangements of traditional Japanese motifs and personal memories, often expressed through drawing, painting, printmaking, and ceramics. This exhibition holds a deeply personal meaning: an offering to Cory and to our family. Nine years have passed since the death of my wife, the writer Cory Taylor. As her final book, Dying: A Memoir, now takes shape on stage in Melbourne—a city I cherish—I wish to share my own work in parallel, as a gesture of remembrance and gratitude. I imagine Cory living just beyond a mountain, in a nearby village. That image sustains me, as does the memory of our thirty-three years together. Through these works, I hope to honour her presence, to let Cory, and all who visit this exhibition, see what I continue to create. This is a tribute of love and thanks for the life we shared.
