Framed Avocado Artwork
In most recent years avocados have been touted a ‘super food’ winning over the people with their smooth creamy texture. Although used as a savoury food, they are actually a fruit. When cut in half you can see a gradient of deep dark green, almost black skin, with a green inner slowly fading to buttery yellow and a golden brown seed in the middle. The array of their colour has also managed to win over some artists to create framed avocado artwork.
Sylvia Rutledge really captures the beauty of the dark and soft greens of avocados in her framed avocado cuisine art, notable her two pieces “Avocados I” and “Avocados II”. She also complements those colours with those of other ingredients such as lemon and garlic, which also work well with avocado in actual cooking. Creating a sense of both beauty and practicality for any lover of food or cooking.
Some artists have captured food as art in more decorative ways. The avocado was included in a series by Beth Anne Creative, “Savory Ingredients V”, that overlayed the sectioned fruit on a decorative background. Other artists have also chosen a more biological theme by creating framed avocado botanical prints which are wonderful illustrations that section the fruit and highlight it on a simple white background.
As opposed to white another way the avocado has been displayed is in framed avocado vintage art such as with artists like Daphne Brissonet who mimic the advertisements on riveted metal from yesteryear. Then there are other pieces that take advantage of the green to balance bright warm colored fruits such as in the oil painting “Luscious Tropical Fruit II” by Kris Taylor.
