Sure, there’s plenty of latte art out there, but it’s often just coffee and creme-colored or a little glittery. But, what if latte art was museum-worthy?
Artist, Kangbin Lee, armed with little more than a latte and food coloring, creates works of art that belong in place where people would go to stare at coffee art. We shall call these establishments, Coffeesums. Nobody steal that.
Although, at first appearance, these appear to be some kind of new and awesome fruit chews, they’re actually an art project to help bring awareness to the industrialization of produce.
The student art project, cm-VEGE by Takuma Kamata, paints a grim picture of where we may be headed with genetic modification. With the use of PVC pipe, acrylic paint, cardboard, wood, and other materials — Kamata reinvents fruits and vegetables in cylindrical form, imagining that they’d be easier for suppliers to ship.
They would certainly be easier to slice. See more of the project below.

Please refrain from licking the screen… These impossibly delicious-looking foods are merely paintings.
Created by Canadian artist, Erin Rothstein, the paintings are a perfect mix of hyperrealistic and abstract styling — giving Rothstein’s work a unique look and feel.
Rothstein will have her food paintings on display at an upcoming show at the Abozzo Gallery in Toronto. Please do not lick the canvases.
In addition to an arsenal of brilliant fruit carvings, Fruttart Scuruchi created the Rubik’s Cube Apple.
If it’s hard to solve how this apple was made, check out the video below. And, you can see more of Fruttart Scuruchi‘s art here.
Red Hongyi, who’s always eager to find a way to incorporate food into her artwork, has recently created a mural for Australian-based Five Plus Smoothie.
However, rather than using food as the medium, Red is using food as her tool. Armed with a celery stick as a paintbrush and several varieties of green paint, Red incorporates a pointillist technique, dabbing on one celery edge at a time.
Spoiler… she didn’t paint a giant celery stick. Please watch.
