À la Carte | A Composition in Flavor and Form

A curated exploration of culinary inspired artworks where food, form, and visual storytelling converge.

À la Carte | A Composition in Flavor and Form

There’s an art to dining that extends far beyond the table. À la Carte | A Composition in Flavor and Form is a curated collection of culinary inspired artworks that blurs the lines between appetite and aesthetics—where food, drink, and the rituals surrounding them become an extension of visual expression. Featuring artists Rodney Smith, Peter Anton, and Scott Fraser, the collection turns meals into moments, and moments into masterworks.

More Than a Meal

Each work in this curation captures more than what is plated; it reflects a mood, a memory, a sensorial trace. The glint of silverware beneath soft light, the quiet luxury of a composed still life, the layered texture of citrus sliced just so—every element speaks to the care we bring to what we consume and how we present it.

Sensory and Symbolic

From painterly depictions of tables set with intention to abstract impressions of taste and touch, the collection embraces the sensuality of dining: its color, its composition, and its inherent elegance. Rodney Smith offers playful, surreal nods to table culture; Peter Anton’s sculptural excess captures food as object of desire; Scott Fraser’s meticulous realism celebrates nuance in form and flavor.

A Curated Ritual

À la Carte is not just about food—it’s about the beauty of curation, of moments arranged with care, and the balance between what we savor and what we see. These culinary inspired artworks elevate the everyday, inviting us to see the act of dining not only as nourishment, but as a form of art in and of itself.
