Art meets Gastronomy
"Where flesh becomes art and art becomes nourishment"
Now Open
14 Contemporary Works at Divot Restaurant
Artist Svetlana K-Liée and Divot restaurant present a provocative exploration where creative works—many depicting bulls—engage in dialogue with the space of culinary consumption.
Visitors encounter a large bronze sculpture "The Bull," alongside silk screen prints on paper also featuring bull imagery, displayed at the restaurant's entrance. A photograph from the series "Women as Meat or God in Sausage," titled "Searching for the Beautiful - Searching for the Soul," is presented as an aluminum print under acrylic. This piece shows a woman searching for soul and beauty within the carcass of a freshly slaughtered bull, while its head rests on a giant snowball and its scarlet, hot blood burns holes through the snow.
The exhibition features numerous works from the CHEBU-RASHA series, executed as limited edition prints and framed for immediate purchase. Bronze sculptures from the "Transformation of Women" series include pieces such as "Woman - Trojan Horse," "Woman Table - on Grass," "Woman Table - on Bear Skin," and two "egg-laying" works with semi-precious stone eggs from "The Last Supper or Pi Number" series.
Three bronze sculptures from the "Skirts" series complete the presentation: "Skirt - Star," "Skirt on Props," and "Skirt with Holes." The exhibition concludes with the bronze sculpture "Leg - Meat Grinder."
For the opening, a porcelain plate titled "Naked in Sprouted Potatoes" will be shown—limited to 20 pieces, this is the first work released under the K-Liée brand.
