A Marble Floor Made of . . . Salami?

I was checking out one of my favorite websites when I came across some gasp-worthy food art. Belgian contemporary artist Wim Delvoye has created a marble floor with salami. Upon first sight of the piece, I was simultaneously wowed by the Delvoye's creativity and . . . hungry. I already consider food art, but this installation made me consider art as food. Alas, it turns out the patterns are Read more

Rodin's The Kiss Recreated in Marmite

This morning I asked you if you would eat a Marmite sandwich. Imagine my surprise when just a few hours later I discovered that London-based artist, Jeremy Fattorini, has created a giant sculpture made from it! His sculpture, which is a replica of Rodin's The Kiss, is 7-ft. tall and is made from 420 jars of the limited-edition "I Love You" Marmite. It was unveiled yesterday in London's Greenwich Read more

Carl Warner Creates Amazing Foodscapes

I was checking out some of my favorite websites when I came across these photographs by London based artist Carl Warner. His series called Foodscapes are wonderfully intriguing. Everything in the photos are made completely out of food. The hot air balloons are made with strawberries and garlic, the mountains are made with loaves of bread, trees of broccoli, and houses of cheese. Sounds like my Read more

Why Have a Pizza Pie When There's a Pizza Pope?

British food artist Prudence Emma Staite has a new exhibit up at the Museum of London. This time the experimental artist has created sculptures of the Colosseum, Spanish Steps and Pope Benedict XVI using enough dough to make 500 pizzas. Her exhibit will be on display until November 13. Each piece is handcrafted and baked by Staite, but personally, I want to see the oven she baked these in! Be Read more

Julia Kissina's a True Meathead

Berlin-based Russian artist Julia Kissina's early photographs bring a new meaning to the phrase Meathead. In her 1997 series, entitled Feen — which means fairies in German — she shows several young girls and ladies wearing raw meat as wigs. That's right, they're meat hair fairies. I've included several of my faves below, but be sure to check out the entire series. Also worth noting are her Read more

What's In Their Breakfast?

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and apparently LA-based artist Jon Huck got the memo. In his "Breakfast" project, Huck takes headshots of folks and juxtaposes them with snapshots of their breakfast. The result is intriguing — we're all nosy to some degree, right? — and fascinating. It's also quite interesting to see how the food choices, combined with the Read more
