From Farm To Canvas: Making Art From Food

Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. From the first caveman to the last instagrammer, we will always be obsessed with making art from food. Some people are just a little more literal about it.

Dan Cretu

Romanian artist Dan Cretu has a range of interesting projects, like recreating classical paintings for modern times (think Narcissus mesmerised by his Instagram). Our favourite, however, is the strikingly colourful photograph series of his food sculptures, which skew perception of humble meat and veg in increasingly curious ways.

Carl Warner                                                                                             

Despite the Brothers Grimm's best efforts, if we'd found Carl Warner's Candy Cottage in the woods as kids we'd have been straight in there, cavities and cannibal crones be damned. From dark and stormy seas (purple cabbage) to cobbled country roads (dusted cashews), there's no topography the man can't Foodscape.

Yeonju Sung

Bridging the gap between the hottest haute cuisine and couture, Korean artist Yeonju Sung is dressed to ingest with Wearable Foods. Made entirely from edible materials, Sung's outfits are beautiful in their colourful hues and graceful lines, but also in their temporary and contradictory nature.
