Gastronomie & Boissons

This collection gathers the food and drink prints in our catalogue, from fresh fruit still lifes to cocktail and kitchen studies. It is a warm, sociable subject, and the selection here leans modern and playful rather than formal, made for the rooms where people cook, eat, and gather.

What's on the menu

Food has been a subject for artists for centuries, and this collection brings the idea up to date. You'll find bright fruit studies such as ripe apples and bananas, alongside drinks work, cocktails, champagne, and summer spritzes caught mid-pour. The mood is closer to a cheerful modern kitchen than a sober Dutch still life, with bold colour and clean composition doing most of the work. That makes it an easy subject to live with, since the prints add energy without demanding too much attention. For the quieter, more classical end of the subject, our still life collection holds the more traditional arrangements, while the playful pieces here sit comfortably alongside our kitchen prints, which extend the same relaxed, food-led mood.

Choosing paper or canvas

Most of this work is graphic and colour-led, which suits a fine art print on paper, where flat colour stays clean and edges stay sharp. This is the natural pick for the bright, poster-style fruit and cocktail pieces. The more painterly works, with visible brushwork and softer colour fields, gain warmth and a tactile surface on canvas. Fine art paper comes in A3, 50×70cm, 70×100cm and A0; canvas in 30×40cm, 50×70cm and 70×100cm. Oak frames keep things light and Scandinavian, black frames sharpen the graphic pieces, and walnut brown adds warmth to a dining setting, an easy way to tie the print into a wooden table or sideboard.

Styling a kitchen or dining wall

Food and drink prints are made for the rooms where people gather. A pair of cocktail prints flanking a drinks cabinet, a run of fruit studies above a dining bench, or one large statement piece in a kitchen all work well, and the bright subjects hold their own even against busy worktops and shelving. The palettes mix happily with botanical and modern work, so customers often pull pieces from our botanical and modern collections to round out the wall. Kept light and a little witty, the effect is welcoming rather than precious, the sort of art that suits a room built around good food and company. It is an easy, friendly way to bring colour to the heart of the home.
