Tae Kitakata and Brittany Powell presented a series of works titled "Sandwich Artist" … From sausage, cheese, ketchup and other simple ingredients, the artists collected simplified versions of the famous avant-garde paintings on a slice of bread. As a result, not easy-to-read pictures Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Pete Mondrian and other artists appeared in a more "digestible" form.
Each sandwich in the series contains a reference to the work of a particular artist. Creative manner Pita Mondrian was recreated using a mosaic of white rectangles of cheese and rare colored inserts of slices of tomato and basil. Scale canvases Mark Rothko, the brightest representative of Abstract Expressionism, ironically reproduced with the help of two slices of cheese on butter-soaked bread. A reference to chaotic pictures Jackson Pollock can be found on a sprinkled ketchup and mustard sandwich.
It is sometimes difficult for a person who is not privy to the intricacies of art history to determine the picture that served as a source of inspiration for a particular sandwich. In its series Tae Kitakata and Brittany Powell pay tribute to such little-known artists in our country as Georgia O'Keefe (sausage flower sandwich) and Damien Hirst (a slice of bread with a mosaic of mustard and ketchup drops). The famous painting "The Kiss" by the Austrian Symbolist is also difficult to define Gustav Klimt.
Series "Sandwich Artist" was created under Low-Commitment Project … The idea behind the project is that every Monday Tae Kitakata and Brittany Powell undertake to submit a public report on their work. As the name of the project suggests, artists do not take on too much responsibility to the viewer: as a rule, their works are humorous and not too serious.
The idea of making a work of art out of a sandwich is also close to other artists, for example, Mark Nortiste.

How does the Arabian Snow White differ from the German, and the Chinese Cinderella - from the French
Some tales from different nations seem remarkably similar.

Contemporary art from Konstantin Zolotarev. Contemporary Christian art or icon painting style
The icon painting style created for the depiction of saints and Christ is aimed at displaying a different reality. Therefore, in the icon, the portrait resemblance of a saint to a person who actually lived once is not in principle, since it reflects a transformed person who is in the upper world. But after all, the saints once lived on earth, they were like us, they ate and drank and had practically the same problems as modern man
