About — Jane Chonlada

Jane Chonlada Panpakdeediskul (Jcldpp) (b. 1993, Thailand) is a visual artist and illustrator based in Oslo. Her practice explores the fragility of migration and the way relations of distances are traced, shaped or distorted. Working across drawing, painting, paperwork and publishing, she investigates the intimacy of “place” and the search for closeness in nature. Often engaging with the dynamic of climate and time, her work reflects on the boundary of familiarity and the transition of belonging.

Chonlada holds a MA in graphic design and illustration from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and BFA in painting from Silpakorn university. She is a member of the Norwegian Association of Painters (Landsforeningen Norske Malere) and the Association of Norwegian Visual Artists (Norske Billedkunstnere). In 2025, her book “Things Dry Fast: a topography of walking” received a Diplom award from The Most Beautiful Illustrated Book organised by Grafill in Norway.
