F ART, LET’S EAT The exhibition "F Art, Let's Eat" gathers works of about 30 artists, invited to produce works under the theme of the connection between Art and Gastronomy, regardless of their approach to the theme, or the technique/material used. Starting from the common denominator between these two areas - creativity - the artists were challenged to give their vision of Gastronomy through Art. Among works with direct references to still lifes and other less common perspectives, it will be possible to see in this exhibition how different artists perceive the theme and how they approach it.
