Peanut butter sandwiches have been around for over a hundred years. Not so modern.
Bored Panda reached out to Noah, who told us a bit about himself and his art.
Noah has a background in art, as he used to teach it, but now is a full-time painter. He wrote: “I am an oil painter from FL. I am a former art professor from FSU.”
There is a „buy now“-button right under the picture, if the urge is to big

Also not modern.
Noah’s work could be interpreted in many ways. Is it a visual irony, a symbolism of consumption, or maybe just a postmodern aesthetic, or all of the above? When Noah was asked to describe the essence or theme behind his paintings, he simply responded: “I don’t describe my style or essence I leave that up to the viewers. I will say I most often paint still lifes.”
In an interview, Noah opened up as a very spiritual person. Therefore, when asked about his creative process and how he comes up with ideas for his paintings, he wrote: “I am spiritual by nature, and I rely on my relationship with Christ to inspire me through painting. Prayer and meditation.”
Noah also addressed his art style: “I have always been drawn to themes that make me feel an emotion.”
And lastly, Noah shared what he would like for audiences to take away from his art: “A good feeling and a happy emotion.”
He then followed that by adding: “I give all the glory to God.”
How modern are they considering modern here? Corn Flakes have been around since 1894.
Well, this box has Huckleberry Hound on it, so that puts it around late 50s, early 60s.

Yup, grilled cheese and pinot noir is perfect pairing...

Brilliant Concept, excellent paintings. BP needs to show more of this type of art and a whole lot less of their gossip column, Jerry Springer-like garbage.
😋 To sum it up: excellent work. Transience depicted by fast food. I get a heartburn just looking at it. And I crave for a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.
I don't usually find art that fascinating.....maybe it's because it's food but I had some good fun looking at all these tasty pieces of work!
