Food products have not only taste, aroma and calorie content, they also have a certain character. But knowing who is who is not enough to know how to cook well or be a gourmet taster. You need to have the talent of an artist, a subtle sense of humor and be a little abnormal. Like a young artist named Nouar from California.
Last week, the girl finished her second personal exhibition of paintings at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York. The exhibition was held under the symbolic title "You Look Good Enough To Eat!" ("You are too good to be eaten!"), So it is not surprising that food products were watched from the walls of the gallery, with each product in its own unique image.
Additional charm to the paintings is given by the design: for Nouar, these are not ordinary comic drawings, but vintage-style posters. These included stamps, postcards, calendars, as well as posters and packaging bags from the post-World War II era. The creativity of the artists of those times, the culinary abilities of their mother and grandmother, as well as an innate sense of humor, served as the inspiration that pushed the artist to this unusual art project.
Noir (Nouar) was born in Iran in the early 1980s, but due to the unstable political situation in the country, her family soon moved to Germany. In 2004 she graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena (California) and since then has not parted with paints and a brush, working as a decorator in the television industry, as a freelance illustrator for some publishing houses and doing freelance work.
