food art

Food art is a type of art that depicts food, drink, or edible objects as the medium or subject matter of an artistic work to create an attractive visual display or provide social critique. It can be presented in two-dimensional or three-dimensional format, like painting or sculpture. Food art can also incorporate food as a medium. Contemporary food artists have experimented using different methods and techniques like photography to change its purpose and use it as a source of story telling, humour and highlighting contemporary issues, such as racism and political activism. Some food art works use materials, like stone, to replicate food.¶
