We are pleased to present Creatures of Curiosity, a solo show by gallery artist JP Terlizzi. Throughout history, the table has stood as an enduring symbol of unity and togetherness. Its significance goes beyond mere utility; it is a profound testament to the human spirit’s innate desire to connect. Whether marking a significant event or simply joining together, the act of thoughtfully preparing and presenting food or an arranged table becomes an expression of love and care.
The Creatures of Curiosity collection unveils the latest additions of contemporary still-lifes that enrich the acclaimed series The Good Dishes by photographer JP Terlizzi. Each tablescape in the series draws its foundation from Terlizzi’s collection of fine china, representing the essence of tradition and the beauty of connections forged through gathering over a shared meal. With a special focus on a range of creatures like exotic birds, tigers, cheetahs, snakes, insects, and monkeys, the lavish visual feast depicts an eclectic range where the brightness of color, ornate patterns, and unconventional food pairings suggest temptation and indulgence through the richness of nourishment, the opulence of life, and exotic luxuries.
The exhibition will be on view at Foto Relevance from January 12 – March 1, 2024. A pop-up version of the show will be on view through March 30.
