Living in a Food Fantasy
Who hasn’t ever dreamed of diving into chocolate mousse, ice-skating on whipped cream or swimming in wine? In the world of Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida, it’s possible. And we’re fans.
Food art
He is French and was already crazy about comic books as a child; she is Japanese and, like her partner, a food stylist and lifestyle photographer. The artists are both crazy about food too: ‘We actually dream of living in our creations ourselves, especially when there’s chocolate in them! And afterwards, we love nothing more than devouring all the ingredients.’
It’s all in the details
Both artists clearly have a lot of fun in their work. Like the scene with the (half-)naked women, imitated from the famous painting ‘Déjeuner sur l’herbe’, a picnic in the woods around Paris. In the foreground, it can be seen with a miniature version of the rebellious French painter Manet.
Creative with cork
Wine counterfeiting is as old as time, and there is a thriving trade in old corks bearing the names and years of top châteaux. But the handy DIY enthusiast dips into the inkwell themselves, just like Pierre and Akiko’s miniature people do. Creative with cork 2.0!
