Eugenia Loli is a collage artist who uses images scanned from old magazines and scientific publications to generate a narrative, which are borrowed from the bizarre aspects of Pop art, Dada, and Surrealism. Each of her collages represent a modern vintage to produce a whole new world filled with vibrant colours that are meaningful. 

I like the idea that she has created interesting scenes by playing with the relationship between food and people. Her works inspired me to apply the Collage technique into my work by combining my drawing with the real ingredient.

This image is created by Karol Banach. It also inspired the idea to create the character from the food ingredients to me.

I got a lot of inspiration from Willam Kass’s work.

The idea of “Travel in the history of Bangkok street food with me” has come up into my mind, after I considered that I had created all of the experiments from the factual information, also my own dream, experience and imagination. Thus, I determined to include myself in my work, by creating a character of myself and put it in the images.

The series of my drawing would present the importance of the culture of street food in Bangkok since in the past. Also, at the same time, it could show the effect of Bangkok’s policy developed a vision in urban when withdrawing street food from people these days. This story which I created from my perspective is going to show a nice dream story at the beginning, and then it gradually changes to the nightmare at the end.

I adopted the Paranoiac-critical method into my work again. In this time, I produced the image of a man is changing to a wolf, and the audience could see the series of my drawing on his face.

I applied the ingredients from these Thai food dishes into my works.

I played with the thought of people change to a hunger prawn when Bangkok street food is withdrawn from them. As a result of prawn is a famous ingredient, which is always used in many Thai street food dishes. Also, it is my favourite ingredient.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits and works inspired by the nature and artefacts of Mexico. She employed a Naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy.

However, I am interested in the way that she painted lots of her self-portraits. Her works gave me the idea to show the story about the history of Bangkok street food by including myself into my work.

The artwork named “Lettie Eggsyrub” was created by Heather Phillipson. It has shown at Gloucester Road station in London. This work features various large-scale sculptures including two 4-metre-high 3D eggs, a huge automated whisk, twelve 65” video screens, and 16 printed panels alongside oversized suspended images. Also, computer game aesthetics featuring egg sandwiches, scientific diagrams of chicken foetuses, and tomato ketchup and custard tarts speeding through sci-fi graphics. However, the goal of this art is quite similar to my aim. It suggests a present tense of menace and dominion.

When I saw Phillipson’s work, it realised me that even if chicken and egg are the simple ingredients that well know for everyone. But in term of art, it always could be used to attract people in unlimited ways.

The Paranoiac-critical method

The Paranoiac-critical method, which is a surrealist technique developed by Salvador Dalí in the early 1930s. He described this technique as a form of irrational knowledge. The method involves the artist invoking a paranoid state (fear that the self is being controlled by others). The outcome is a deconstruction of the psychological concept of identity, using the mind actively to see images and include them in the works. The resulting work is a double image or multiple images in which an abstruse image can be interpreted in different ways.

I think that this method could create exciting works, and have a variety of perspectives that could surprise the audience with the hidden meaning in the image. So, I would like to explore the potential use of this method, and I adapt it to produce the artwork in my own ways.

The concept of these paintings is “Teleport”, which were created by the Thai artist named Gongkan. I like the idea that he used a black circle as a door which his character can go anywhere or do anything. So that, his works inspired the idea to make a story about travel back in the history of Bangkok street food to me.

At first, I decided to create a puzzle for my outcome. I attempted to make it by using the laser cut, but the result was failed. Before cutting it, I used the paper tape to protect my images from the laser burn, but I could not take it off from my works when the cutting finished. It damaged my images. Also, my works still were affected by the laser burn.

I applied the Paranoiac-critical method into my works. I created the images which are presented the ingredient, the seasoning and the kitchenware of Thai dishes, and the inside of these images would be shown the story about the history of street food in Bangkok.

From the idea of using real objects, I applied this idea by drawing the food ingredients and arranged it in unnatural juxtapositions. Also, I created the character of the vendors from the things that they are selling such as a fish, a pineapple and an octopus. But when I arranged my drawings together, it seems to too small and could not show the detail of my drawing clearly. Also, I thought that it could not show the story of the history of Bangkok street food as it should be.
