Tell me these don't play havoc with your
sweet-toothed cravings...
Now would you believe me if I told you it's
not edible? Not even an installation. It is in fact the delicious
handiwork of Mary Ellen Johnson, an American Precision Realist oil painter
renowned for her food paintings.
Johnson's hyper-reality instigates a truly powerful,
sensual experience, particularly thanks to its almost tangible glossiness that oozes a real mouth watering sugary
quality. More than just paintings; these one dimensional visual
delicacies not only stir wonder with their qualities of realism but also create
a common yearning and appreciation that transcends language barriers. Hungry
yet..?
