Body Part Baking

If your local cake shop sported trays full of dismembered body parts - at least what looked like them on the bread counter - you might well run back out,, but visitors to the factory shop of the Unarrom family bakery, at Ratchaburi, Bangkok in Thailand had exactly that experience, in the form of edible . created by 32 years old Kittiwat, an artistic young man who sees his weird artworks as food fun.

He just elected to use bread dough to try sculpting with, soon gaining both name and reputation through creations of edible sculptures looking for all the world like horribly bloody body parts. Kittiwat did study fine arts, and is an accomplished painter as well, the return to the family business sparking him into action of the artistically creative kind.

Having learned how to bake at only ten, he felt that he could express his feelings and beliefs best through the medium of baking, finished products with short shelf lives demonstrating, clearly how transient all life truly is. He maintains that the act of eating his bread art it helps to amplify the message it conveys about the temporary nature of life.

These amazingly realistic these bread products, lifelike enough to feature on film sets, are really quite disconcerting, apparently covered in blood and packaged up to sell, like any other supermarket foodstuff. Kittiwat achieves such realism both studying anatomy, and paying visits to forensic museums, though good flavor in his artworks is also very important to him

His original edible sculpture work series took place in 2008, when he actually baked fresh heads that the audiences were meant to consume at his Body and the Dead exhibition, every person getting a taste commenting that both smell and taste were wonderful, though some baulked at looking into the eyes of their snacks.

Kittiwat exhibited, in May 2010, in the Art Now show at the Siam Theatre, Bangkok, along with another artist, sculptures and paintings, proving that he is multi-talented artistically, though the edible art is what he is most famous for . He thinks that art belongs not only in museums or galleries, but should be available to all people at all times.

Concentrating at the moment on running the family's bakery business., this talented guy is still full of artistic ideas, finding every day that when he bakes, they keep coming on ways of using dough to make art, though another art show may be some way off. However long it takes to appear, it is sure to be an eye-opener.
