Noah Verrier is the visual artist who has had a profound impact on the internet with his movement based on beautifying fast food through oil painting. In romanticizing that type of food in classic still lifes surrounded by flowers, which are constantly shared by other creators on the platforms. Even by pop icons like Britney Spears. According to him, that was the real pic of his career.
His vibrant works evoke a whole aesthetic assortment of food or beverages: from a Panda Express take-out box overflowing with noodles and Baja Blast from Taco Bell to colorful donuts, Modelo beer, a two-piece Popeyes with a cookie and a Wendy’s meal with fries dipped in a Frosty.
The American’s still lifes thus gather a whole community of nearly 200 thousand followers on Instagram, who revere his blend of classic realism and contemporary painterliness.
Now, the next step for Verrier has been to go viral on Twitter with a work of an ‘uncrustable’, which is a kind of sandwich filled with bread.
His oil painting titled ‘Smucker’s Uncrustable‘ received 48,000 retweets and 508,000 likes, and eventually sold on eBay for $6,800 Canadian (about $5,000 US).
