Food Artists Cont...

          James Parker is an amazing food artist who makes his creation out of fruits and vegetables. He’s been on food network a couple of times and has won a gold medal for winning a Fantasy Fruit Sculpture challenge. The art of carving fruit and vegetables is popular in Asia to garnish food and is an ancient art.

            Mike McCarey is the next artist. He makes edible sculptures of just about anything! These cakes can range from something as simple as a pair of shoes to something so intricate like the Eiffel Tower. He can even make gigantic dinosaurs or Big Bird from Sesame Street!

 

            Robin Antar is an award-winning sculptor who uses stone as her medium. She uses to stone and makes it look like food products. She’s made York peppermint patties, soft drinks, and in 2008 was working on a sculpture of a Heinz ketchup bottle for the Heinz headquarters.

            Song Dong is an artist who made a “Biscuit City” at a department store in London. The city is a traditional Asian City and was made with tea, caramel, fruit shortcake, and about 72,000 biscuits. Dong says he designed some of the building but the rest was just made up as they were going along.

 

 

            Ray Duey is the next amazing food artist. He uses fruits like melons, apples, and others to make beautiful table arrangements. He uses tiny, sharp tools to carve detailed designs and shapes into the fruit. He was also on Food Network Challenges for his creative ability to carve fruit.

            Tamás Balla is an artist who animates food to tell strange stories. He gives the food toes, arms, faces… whatever is needed to aid in telling the story behind his artwork. He’s carved bread into feet, oranges into people, and apples into faces. His art is fascinating and very fun at the same time! Click the link above to view his artwork.

            Prudence Emma Staite is a contemporary artist who works mostly with chocolate. She wants people to view her art with all of their senses. She has made entire rooms, games like checkers and jenga, and pictures all out of chocolate. She has even made jewelry out of chocolate! If you ask me, this lady is crazy for chocolate!
