Tif Hunter, Limes, (edition 1 of 13), Photograph & Walnut Frame, 43 x 32 cm, 2024
Shown as part of our inaugural exhibition Food as Origin.
From the ‘Last Supper’ to Caravaggio’s scrupulous ‘Basket of Fruit,’ to ‘The Dinner Party’, art’s unison with food has been long, varied, and often provocative. Cezzane, Monet, Warhol, Frankfurt, and Dali all wrote cookbooks, of sorts. And we can’t ignore the effect that the rise of cafe culture had in France, not least on the idea that life, food, and art really might have something to do with each other. Manet’s painting in 1873, ‘Le Bon Bock’, of the owner at The Café Guerbois, certainly can’t go unmentioned, nor can Judy Chicago’s seminal sculptural installation ‘The Dinner Party’. Food, art, and .... life have a long interwinded tradition. Food as Origin sets out to explore what artists Today are making, and the role food and life play in their work.
