Pasta = life en soms ook kunst: 8 foto's van pastakunstwerken

Met pasta kun je allerlei fantastische gerechten maken, maar ook kunstwerken. Of nou ja, de mensen achter het Instagram-account Salty Seattle kunnen dat in ieder geval. Het resultaat ziet eruit om op te eten, maar ja dat is eigenlijk wel vet zonde.

1) Meisje met de spaghetti-oorbel?

I call it, Girl with a Noodle Earring. When you're done gazing upon her visage, you can eat her. Maybe I could market this series to sociopaths who like pasta? Innn other news, faces are HARD. Sorry for making child's play of your work, Vermeer. I hope there's plenty of room in your grave to roll over comfortably.

2) De Spaghetti-nacht

So those "paint & sip" classes are really popular, but what if we leveled up? Make edible canvases while wining away, then cook & eat the art both to sop up the booze AND, AND, so nobody has to take home their embarrassing results. Oh, & this is that one painting by that one guy, rendered in naturally-colored noodles of various shapes & sizes. I hope it would appeal to his particular, enviable sense of strange. I might be ready to take requests... #vangogh #starrynight

This is what happens when you do it with actual pasta (a @banksy-inspired series). 🎈 Made with flour, eggs, beets, activated charcoal. #girlwithballoon #shredthelove #loveisinthebin @marcato_usa @marcatopasta

7) Mini pasta-hoedjes

I feel so guilty when I eat tiny pasta hats because I imagine a tiny pasta person toiling in the sunshine getting a sunburn on his tiny pasta head while harvesting tiny pasta produce for a tiny pasta dinner that I will also then eat, thus ruining Tiny Pasta Person's tidy little life. I'm the WORST, but isn't this tiny pasta hat adorable, tho?

8) Mondriaan-ravioli

Pasta du Mond(rian). I’ve become fascinated by artist Piet Mondrian recently. Two observations: 😷 Mondrian contracted the Spanish Flu during the last great global quarantine in 1918. He had it for months, but was able to continue to work on his paintings in his studio. He said of this period, “while I have had the flu I have noticed how concentrated one unwillingly becomes, and that the work is the better for it.” 🤔 🎨 He also seems to have had a love-hate relationship with food. Biographers say he was austerely aligned with his Dutch roots with regards to simple meals he prepared at home, living on currants & thin, vegetable soups. He followed the Haye diet (which he argued wasn’t a diet but scientific dietetics). He said about it “meat, eggs and fish do not combine with potatoes or farinaceous foods." So fad diets have been a thing for at least a century- move over keto paleo practitioners 😂. Yet he loved to go out for lavish meals, both during his Paris & New York phases. I wonder what his ravioli filling choice would have been- certainly not meat, since pasta is the ultimate farinaceous food. #Mondrian
