Carl Warner

Carl Warner was born in 1963 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, he is British. He is an artist, director, author and photographer. Warner blends photography and art to make highly conceptual visual images. Based in London, Warner's 25-year career spans still life, advertising and photography. He is best known for his intricate food landscapes where he uses different types of foods and ingredients. He aims to inspire people to look at food in different ways.[1] He is also known for his Bodyscapes.

Warner started creating “Foodscapes” in 1998 when he came across a very simple mushroom in a market. "I held it in my hand and imagined it was some kind of tree in some alien world. I took it to my studio and with a handful of beans and rice I created my first Foodscape. "

After his success on the internet creating food art images, he began to make more elaborate works, often made to look like famous landmarks, and always made out of real food. The goal of these projects is to trick the human eye into thinking the scene is real at first glance, and Warner uses anything from fresh vegetables and fruits to bread, cheese, and sometimes meat and fish, as well as Tungsten lights in order to create the appearance of sunlight. These elaborate Foodscapes are his most popular work and he often gets hired to create them for large food production companies.
