Over the past year, artist Lauren Purnell has been creating clever art out of food for her “Culinary Canvas” project. She recreates popular animals, landscapes and objects from edible ingredients on her tumblr blog called Culinary Canvas.
It’s always interesting to see when artists depart from typical art materials such as paint and opt for other interesting mediums like food. Purnell is one of these artists that repetitively recreates trees, flags, chickens, flowers, turtles and hummingbirds entirely out of food. The precision and color of Purnell’s work is incredibly striking to look at.
