the art life “The synergy between art and food is something we’ve discussed before. Someone decided it was great advertising opportunity for people to know that, for example, Bistro Moncur is just across the road from Eva Bruer Art Dealer, so once you’ve bought a nice painting, you can celebrate with a bottle of wine over a nice steak (specialty of the house) and so the Art & Food Guide was born.” Well it goes to show really, see I knew I wasn’t the only wierdo who thinks food and art go together!

I was having a great talk with Liam over Japanese (mm Shira Nui in Glen Waverley, excellent Japanese food and Sake) and we were discussing the nature of art. And we came up with the grand unified food theory of art. (ok but I needed a grand Title)…. But the more levels someone feels the better it is and the more levels and the more people you can touch – even better still!… A simple landscape may make one person think of the place they grew up and another person a horrible nightmare they had, but it still speaks to them in an individual voice and that is what truly counts.
