Food Tasting

Abstract

The necessity and benefits of food for the body are well-known to everyone, given the wide variety of food available. In my memories associated with food, I reminisce about the times I've tasted various dishes, contemplating their flavors and finding joy in every bite. These experiences have sparked my imagination to create artworks. The purpose of this art thesis is to explore the act of consuming food, considering not only its taste but also its nutritional value and presentation. The ambiance and arrangement of food, as well as the dining environment, play crucial roles in enhancing the dining experience. Additionally, the diversity of flavors across different cultures and communities, influenced by local customs and environments, further enriches the culinary experience. In creating this series, I aim to depict realistic-looking food, emphasizing its appearance and colors to make it more appetizing. Using elements of art, I incorporate the principles of composition to create lifelike representations of food. Moreover, I utilize the imagery of enjoying food with beloved pets as a symbol of the dining experience. Through the use of color tones and atmospheric settings, I convey the narrative of the artwork, bringing it to life through the process of silk screen printing in a two-dimensional format.
