Celebrating their 20th anniversary with Castle Fine Art, artistic duo Peter and Jayne Smith newest collection, Scoff. , features a selection of familiar British pantry favourites.
Contemplating themes of friendship, love and life with kids, the pair’s artworks not only playfully pun on the product associations, but also creatively weave them into the fabric of everyday life. The duo continues to explore the surreal still life oil paintings they have become so famous for, this time recreating the iconic packaging of tasty treats with their iconic sense of humour.
Conveying themes of friendship, in ‘Because You Know Too Much’, gravy is used as a reference for the undeniable comforting feeling a friend brings to our lives. The re-worked text is a testament to the friends who, just like Bisto, know everything about us but still stick around.
The artwork also features the famous Impossimals, that have gained a dedicated following in the fine art world, embodying Peter Smith’s fine artistic craftsmanship and the pair’s unique blend of humour and creativity.
The artwork is meticulously crafted to best showcase the vibrant colours - which are colour matched to the product - the surreal quality and the personality the pair inject into everything they create. The magic comes from the depth and detail of each artwork aligned with the sense of humour in each piece.
