The average morning for the average Englishman begins with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, a cup of coffee and a few toasts, greased with butter, marmalade, jam, or whatever the average British refrigerator is rich in. For someone who is not considered an average Briton, the morning also begins with a slice of toasted bread. But in this case it is not used for food - it is added to the collection of decorated toasts.
Ximena Escobar is a British artist who prefers not to eat bread, but to paint on it. As a result, thin slices of carefully dried and ironed bread of all sorts become her canvases, and instead of paint, the artist uses ink, tea, chocolate, or makes an applique from paper, fabric or plants.
Ximena Escobar has repeatedly demonstrated her collection of decorated toasts at exhibitions. The gallery of "grain" works can also be viewed online, if you look at its website.

The Incredible Adventures of Peter and Jane at the Museum of Modern Art: An Illustrated Pamphlet by Miriam Elia
Contemporary art needs a lot of things: support and funding, accessible exhibition spaces, programs that allow young talents to unfold. It also desperately needs self-irony. The writer and artist Miriam Elia decided to help him with this problem by publishing her own "serious" book about art "for the little ones." The illustrated story “We Go to the Gallery” parodies classic children's books from the 40s – 70s
Not boring needlework. Embroidery on rye toes by Catherine McEver
As parents and school teachers taught us in childhood: everything should have its own place and purpose. Therefore, you need to eat the soup with a spoon, cut the sausage with a knife, and prick the cutlet on a fork. The same people who did everything differently were called strange. But if you put these oddities in the right direction, you can get very interesting results, like the artist Catherine McEver, who does not embroider on fabric, but on rye toes
Art croutons instead of sandwiches. Fried Bread Drawings
You know, I like it. I like the fact that today we no longer live in such a strict framework as before: we can laugh at what a couple of decades ago it was impossible to speak out loud, we have access to toys that would horrify both our parents and their parents , and food products have ceased to be only a means for filling the stomach and saturating the body, but have turned into entertainment.

Bread balance. Baguettes, loaves and buns in the Towers of Bread art project
Overcoming gravity, American sculptor Michael Grab builds incredible towers from stones that surprise, amaze and shock the audience. A similar project that defied gravity was created by artists Ana Dominguez and Omar Sosa, but instead of stones, they used different varieties of baked goods. Loafs, baguettes, rolls, bagels and flatbreads, all this was combined into one whole art project Towers of Bread
Embroidered toes-2. Inedible but original art project From Scratch by Judith Klauser
Judith G. Klauser's alternative use to creamy chocolate chip cookies we have seen today. Someone did not like her Oreo Cameo, but someone, on the contrary, was delighted with such creativity. Fortunately, we, or rather Judith, still have something to please fans of inedible-edible creativity - her entire art project From Scratch is dedicated to how food can be used in art
