The
Art of Food
For millenia
food in every culture represented fulfillment, perhaps fertility,
perhaps gifts for the gods. The cave artists of Lascaux may have painted
their animal prey to represent dinner on the hoof.
"The
Art of Food" is the inaugural exhibit of K Gallery, the visual
arts gallery of Rhythmix Cultural Works in Alameda,California. The
exhibit begins June 2nd and includes major Bay Area artists who use
food imagery in their work; Guy Diehl converts his meticulous still
life paintings into elegant digital prints. Bay area photographers
Gail Skoff and Janet Delaney use food forms and food related objects
in their evocative photos. Charlie Milgrim sculpts a US map from jello.
These and other food themed works will be on exhibit in the K Gallery
opening June 2nd though July 29. Gallery hours are 11-5 Tuesday through
Saturday.
