Untitled 2016

"Untitled" (2016) by Ilya Isupov is a captivating realist painting that depicts a surreal scene. The painting shows a family gathered around a dinner table with a large spread of food, yet the focus of the composition is the surreal depiction of the food. The food items, primarily sausages and fries, are arranged in the form of a human face, a subtle commentary on the consumption of food. The individuals around the table are rendered in a realistic style, their expressions hinting at a sense of both anxiety and disquiet. The painting invites viewers to consider the nature of family dynamics and the human connection to food in a visually captivating and thought-provoking way.
