Retrato: Louis Pang

Hong Yi, es una artista-arquitecta nacida en Malasia. Es conocida como la artista que ama la pintura y que no usa pincel. Su retrato de Yao Ming hecho con tinta y un pelota de baloncesto y  el de Jay Chou utilizando café fueron hits de Youtube. Sus otros trabajos incluyen retratos Ai Weiwei con 100.000 semillas de girasol y Zhang Yimou, usando 750 pares de calcetines y palillos de bambú. El trabajo que les comparto se llama ’31 days of Creativity in March’ (31 días de creatividad en Marzo), que consiste, en hacer todos los días del mes de marzo, un cuadro usando comida,  sobre un plato blanco que será el lienzo, los cuales subirá cada día a su cuenta de instagram usando el hashtag #Creativemarch

Cada vez que la artista comparta su obra en Instagram la subiré a esta página para que puedas verlas todas.

Day 10: Four dogs in my oreos!

puedes nombrar las 4 razas?

Probablemente este ha sido el más dificil hasta ahora -complicado trabajar con la crema de las galletas oreo en este clima tropical, puesto que se repite muy fácil, además de que es muy duro no darle pequeños mordiscos a la galleta mientras hago las formas.

dia10

Day 11: Campbell’s Tomato Soup! …hecho con salsa de tomate, mayonesa, mostaza y salsa de ostras! Tomó un tiempo que se ‘condensara’ para que se viera bien

Day 12: Giant Squid Attack! Hecho con calamar y tinta de calamar ! El más ‘sucio’ de los platos que he hecho hasta ahora jajaj…. Este calamar irá adentro de mi sopa esta noche.

dia 12

Día 13: Banksy on my plate! Hecho con alga nori y manzana,

What does this Banksy piece of the maid mean to you?

Ps: Banksy was my second attempt today. The first was Taylor Swift with instant noodles, which failed big time. I ended up sharing her hair with my dog Chowder.

day18

Day 29: Goldfish in my consommé! This is my most time consuming piece yet…it took 4 hours and I only got it right on my 2nd try! inspired by Riusuke Fukahori’s goldfish art and how he paints them on resin for that 3d realistic look!

A new way to serve appetiser (move over molecular gastronomy!) —goldfish made of pickled ginger (or substitute with raw salmon…but i like ginger cos it has a certain transparency that make the goldfish look more real), eyeballs of century eggs (google if you haven’t heard of them…they’re Chinese black eggs!), grass made of dill and jelly made of chicken consomme and gelatine.

Day 30: Tropical fruit pufferfish! This piece is made of 4 different fruits from Southeast Asia! Can you name them?

Answers:
_Body: Durian – known as the “king of fruits”, it is strong smelling, has a spikey husk and creamy flesh. They say u either love or hate it. I love it!
_eye: longan, similar to lychees
_tail/fin: chiku, a super sweet fruit, texture like a well-ripened pear
