Food Works in the Barossa
“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.”
Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance
Artist Malcolm Richards hails from Gawler but is venturing into the Barossa Regional Gallery to show his Food Works exhibition.
This exhibition of vivid paintings celebrates food as a significant part of our cultural lives.
Malcolm says, “Food has never been ‘still’ for me. It is fashioned without finesse. Ingredients and dishes are waved, shaken and used to illustrate tales before and during meals. This exhibition’s images are not those of fine dining, lavish dinners or the competitive cooking of evening television. Rather they are the stuff of the home where parents and grandparents cook with children and the ingredients are sourced from the back yard, market or sea and meals are made from what is available that day.”
