Playing with food has evolved from something that gets you smacked at
the dinner table to possibly the next great art movement. Just take a
look at this massive gallery of art made from food or food-related
products like the coke bottle in the scorpion above.
Looking through more than two dozen photos, the one thing that
strikes my untrained art eye is that nearly all of these creations are imitations of a different form of art -- such as the recreation of a Van Gogh self-portrait in the side of a watermelon -- rather than original work.
The exception would have to be Olle Hemmendorff 's Nike Air Max 90
Burger, an edible burger shaped into a sneaker.
It's gross but
impossible to look away from.
The scorpion above is one of the
many animal-based pieces. For some reason, people -- and not just these artists -- seem to want
to turn food into animals.
Shark-shaped fruit snacks or Circus Animals anyone?
I'd show more here but due to copyright reasons I can't. Trust me
when I say it's worth clicking through, if not for the art then to give you
some ideas about what to do with that cucumber you're not going to eat.
Complete gallery available here.
