Chloe Amy Avery’s artwork is vibrant, bold, and massive, to say the least. Her huge hyper-realistic works focus mainly on food, reminding of Andy Warhol’s pop art paintings more than anything else.
With one important distinction: Avery’s “paintings” are made using strictly embroidery. “At first glance, Chloe’s work could be mistaken for paint,” reads her website. “But the atypical medium and texture of thread force the viewer to question what they see.”
“Food is such a critical part of who we are and having lived in different cities and abroad from where I was born and grew up, I realized that food is a crucial part of people’s stories,” said the artist in an interview with Sarah K. Benning, published on Benning’s website.
“As an artist, I portray food using embroidery thread to give a sense of surprise to the viewer, something often mass produced and dismissible a sense of fun and nostalgia, re-crafted and reimagined,” she added. “I was inspired by people’s food story. As I created I found the platform of social media so helpful to start a conversation and be inspired for more of my work. I use Instagram to showcase my process and work and I have not only gained an amazing amount of support but an invaluable amount of insight into different cultures around food.”
