4 Artists Showcasing Food Art

These four artists offer food art in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we’d expect nothing less! From chic and whimsical to playful and sophisticated, we’re taking a look at how four different creators showcase enticing eats.

From feelings of comfort to inviting energy, food is universally enjoyed and brings people together – which is why food art has existed since the Middle Ages. Whether it’s wanting to capture the mouthwatering details of a dish or evoke a creative side of beloved treats, it’s no wonder that artists are constantly finding interesting ways to depict edible delicacies. While we often see food art honing in on still lifes or historical scenes of big feasts, artists are finding other ways to show off appetizing cuisines.

From fruit as fashion to surreal meals, the work from these artists can bring enticing joy, pop art boldness, and more types of vibes to your space. Whether you prefer detailed paintings or digital illustrations, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.

1. Gretchen Roehrs | Food Fashion Artist

Gretchen Roehrs photographs her line drawings of women wearing real food. Putting a fun twist on fashion, she makes food the star of the show by styling her line drawn ladies with fruit and vegetable dresses, sweet flavored earrings, and other delicious “clothes”. Whether it’s colorfully clad, eccentric outfits or more subtle food fashion, we love the way each minimalist figure beams with unique personalities.

From a cool banana jumpsuit to a stylish coffee bean gown, we think her artwork can be a wonderful way to add chic and whimsical energy to your space. If her appetizingly stylish creations look familiar, you may have seen her work in the pages of The New York Times, Vogue, and Harper’s BAZAAR.
