The convenience store is our contemporary galleria; archways of chocolate legs splayed akimbo give way to the insinuation of ice-cream's carnal knowledge. Television's advertising mania has gripped the human psyche and made these neon wonderlands a second home, every image slowly turned into a high-definition but lowest-common denominator phantasmagoria. You think that's just a pie you're eating?
In this exhibition, Ditto, Helen Neville has set the stage for the miasma of impulses and images of food styling photography to be set ablaze. Her images of are interpreted in turn by five artists, Andrew Atchison, Ned Lanarch-Jones, Kelly Murphy, Grant Nimmo and Led Zephyr.
The process of abstraction strips away the styled, staid and practiced beauty of food porn and allows us to get back to the physicality of food itself. Her still-life images are opulent and demanding, generating a wild craving for contact and nutrition, and with each re-interpretation, we find ourselves nourished as the wrappings are flung to the floor. |
