Overview
If the name CJ Hendry doesn't ring a bell, a peek at these artworks will make you want to change that. Putting herself to the ultimate test, this Brisbane artist's latest collection 50 Foods in 50 Days shows just what can be achieved in a day's work. With just 24 hours, a felt tip pen and a 200,000 strong Instagram following to be held accountable to, Hendry took on the challenge of completing a hand-drawn masterpiece every day. Talk about dedication to the cause.
These artworks are much more than just rushed scribbling's. They're top notch hyperreal snapshots of meals consumed by prisoners during their last days on death row. Pretty full-on. Drawn atop stunning $800 Hermes plates, Hendry has already gained the attention of the likes of Kanye West and Vera Wang (they've both nabbed pieces of her latest collections).
Setting up in a pop-up luxury food store, the works will be woven into displays of gourmet oils, chocolates and teas. Pushing viewers to take part in this visual (and literal) feast, Hendry's work is sure to stir up some intriguing dinner table conversation.
