Los Angeles-based artist Victoria Reynolds specializes in painting detailed pictures of meat. When have viscera ever looked so beautiful? You can view and buy her paintings at Richard Heller Gallery (the above bacon painting is $5,000 if you’re interested.
I love meat as much as anybody else and I love all things pork and pork related (with the exception of deli-sliced ham and ham in general, which I find terrible beyond words) but the day that I spend 5 grand on a painting of bacon, I hope someone has the decency to smother me with a pillow in my sleep.
