Artist Creates Cylindrical Fruits As a Satirical Reminder of Where We’re Heading With Genetic Modification

January 20, 2017 by Chris Durso

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.

Creative Sidewalk Chalkboard Art by Ollie Wolff Pruitt

September 9, 2016 by Chris Durso

pruitt-chalkboard

Sidewalk chalkboards may seem like an antiquated way to drive customers in. However, when used correctly, that chalkboard could become a business’ best form of marketing.

This series, by Ollie Wolff Pruitt, proves this. Pruitt started creating chalkboard signs for her friend’s bar in Dahlonega, Georgia. The sidewalk art not only helped improve business, but was also featured in a local newspaper, giving the artist and bar some great free publicity.

Of course, Pruitt doesn’t just list the happy hour and food specials on her chalkboards. What gets people in the door is Pruitt’s creative use of illustration, typography and wordplay. Occasionally, she even borrows ideas from comic masters such as The Oatmeal.

See more below and over on Pruitt’s imgur page.

Food Used To Finish Beautiful Pencil Illustrations by Diego Cusano

August 19, 2016 by Chris Durso

Diego-Cusano-1

Italian artist, songwriter, and “fantasy researcher,” Diego Cusano, knows how to finish his art deliciously. Diego begins with beautiful pencil illustrations of pop culture characters, animals, and everyday objects — finishing the pieces with various food items.

The addition of edibles, besides a creative use of mixed medium, becomes the drawing’s only introduction of color. This juxtaposition of colored food and black and white illustration then gives the drawings two distinct parts, while also bringing everything together to complete a whole.

The use of food also adds an ephemeral quality, by giving the art a shelf life. Thankfully, Diego’s art lives on in photos, and in a book of his work, Food Art and Fantasy.

See more of Diego Cusano’s work over on Instagram, and visit his Etsy shop where prints of his work are available.

Inedible Recipes, A Cookbook of Delicious Food Art

January 31, 2014 by Chris Durso

20140116112005-cover

Cookbooks… They’re always filled with such delicious recipes, you know, the kind you can actually eat. But what if there was a book that contained recipes of deliciously inedible food?

Inedible Recipes, by artist Crystal Smith, explores the concept of filling a cookbook with food no longer fit for consumption. The series of food art, which uses various forms of media added to food, could be described as an artbook, photobook and cookbook all in one — as Smith does in fact supply the “recipes” for each piece.

Inedible Recipes is currently an Indiegogo project. You can visit Crystal’s page and help this project become a reality here.

Portraits Painted With Coffee on Antique Ledger Paper

August 9, 2013 by Chris Durso

coffee-3

Coffee, besides helping us feel less rage in the morning, has become a great art medium. Now, artist Michael Aaron Williams has taken coffee art a bit further by going old-school — with a series of portraits painted on ledger paper that dates back to the 1920s and 30s.

The weathered paper adds the perfect backdrop to the brown, amber and copper hues of the coffee, while Williams’ partial portraits complete the antique feel. See more of Williams’ work at his Facebook page.
