Fanny Brodar Hunger Is A Good Cook For Sale

Edition

Edition of 50

Fanny Brodar's "Hunger Is A Good Cook" (2022) translates her signature painting style onto a functional canvas—a 10.5-inch porcelain dinner plate that transforms an everyday object into a piece of collectible art. The work takes its title from the timeless proverb suggesting that appetite itself is the best seasoning, a sentiment that speaks to Brodar's ongoing fascination with how language, food, and human experience intersect in moments of simple pleasure. True to her established visual vocabulary, the piece features Brodar's characteristic bold typography and vibrant color palette, rendering the familiar phrase with fresh energy and graphic punch. The text becomes both message and image, inviting viewers to consider how words shape our relationship with ritual, nourishment, and desire. There's a playful wit at work here, yet beneath the surface lies a deeper meditation on satisfaction—how wanting something intensifies the joy of receiving it, whether that something is a meal, a moment, or meaning itself. The choice of a dinner plate as medium feels intentional and intimate. Brodar collapses the distance between art and life, suggesting that beauty belongs not just on gallery walls but at our tables, woven into the fabric of daily existence. The accompanying collector presentation box elevates the object while honoring its dual nature as both artwork and functional piece, made with care in the USA. "Hunger Is A Good Cook" exemplifies Brodar's ability to find profundity in the commonplace, transforming a kitchen staple into a statement about appetite, anticipation, and the art of living well. This work is available for acquisition through Guy Hepner gallery in New York.
