Last week my first curated exhibition titled Food & Art was hung at Eva Breuer Art Dealer where I work as a gallery associate. This is my first opportunity to bring my passion for food and art to a wider audience and to put together a collection of paintings and works on paper. Among the still lifes and banquet scenes a little oil on board by Weaver Hawkins of a pile of grapefruit can be found that I wrote about on this blog back in June 2009. If you are in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney please stop by to view Food & Art and to say hello!

Although Frida Kahlo is best known for her striking and emotionally revealing self portraits, she created about 40 still life paintings that provide just as much insight into her preoccupation with death and her overwhelming loneliness. I was recently given an anthology detailing Kahlo’s entire body of still life paintings and have become so enamored with her work that I will be completing a five part series of my favorite artworks. This is not the first time Kahlo’s art has appeared on this site and I hope by the end of this series you will adore her work like I do.
