GPAG: Joe’s Lounge – LINDA MAY HENRI | Eat Your Veggies (painting)

February 7 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Free

Eat Your Veggies, an exhibition by Linda May Henri in Joe’s Lounge, explores foods’ modern symbolic space in relation to the human body. On the internet there are articles that compare women’s bodies to fruit in order to describe their body shape. Food emoticons are used to refer to body parts in texting. Henri’s anthropomorphic fruit paintings address this absurdity of comparing fruit and veggies with the human body by using bright colours and creating odd subjects. Reflecting on the commodification and consumption of the human body and of food by using the pinup art style, Eat Your Veggies questions our relationships with food through bright colours, subject matter, and repetition.
