There is a palpable, uneasy humor exhibited in these works, as seen in This Bloodless War #5; two theatrically nefarious figures in dark suits stand beside a car, behind which lies a man, unconscious and still clutching his designer shopping bags, having apparently been dragged over the ground. Chatchai Puipia’s large oil on canvas from 1995, the striking and borderline grotesque Siamese Smile: May I Come In?, is an in-your-face challenge to the ubiquitous “Thai smile.”
