Art is Food, Food is Art

Who said that food is just that – a food? Sceptics, perhaps. In reality, there is as much creativity about the things that are stored in the fridge as about the oil paints. Have you ever thought that you can make food look like art or you can make art from food? Oh, and if you think that these two categories are quite the same, you are very much mistaken.

Have you ever heard about foodscapes, for instance? They are created by British photographer Carl Warner. Not everyone might recognise that everything on his photographs is made of the actual edible items. However, once you look closer, you can find everything from rice to seafood, from broccoli to bread there. Carl creates conventional landscapes using very unconventional materials. He admits that the goal is to make the viewers believe that they are looking at a real scene and then make them smile once they realise that everything is made of food.

Spring clean your health regime by treating yourself to wholesome lunch options and an active new lifestyle to get yourself back on track for the summer months.
