British artist James Ostrer created a series of artwork titled Junk Food Portraits by layering amounts of all of our most familiar junk foods on models. The result is at once stunning yet unnerving. While these surreal images are indeed vidid, we have to admit they made us think: is this really thing kind of thing we ought to be putting into our bodies? No wonder these portraits caught the eye of so many Japanese net users!
Here’s a small sample of the work that has netizens buzzing.
Ostrer’s collection will be exhibited at the Gazelli Art House in London until September 11. If you happen to be in the area, be sure to stop by. And perhaps pack a nice, healthy salad for lunch!
