About
Photo: Danil Shipulin
James Jirat Patradoon’s work is informed by a wealth of cultural references. From 80s aesthetics and 90s fashion, to comic books and tattoo design, he renders his ideas in flashes of neon and monochrome.
Creating captivating animated gifs, murals and paintings, Patradoon’s arcane obsession with the occult seeps through every pore of his pieces. Fusing Japanese anime with pop-horror and searing luminous colours - he conjures visions of a neon gothic paradise.
A standalone style has led to work with high profile international clientele, including collaborations with the likes of Coca Cola, Facebook, HBO, and Microsoft.
