Playful Deception of Cravings by Marse Lee

Inspired by Magritte's thought-provoking artwork The Treachery of Images, this piece takes a culinary twist; playfully swapping the iconic pipe in the original work for a steaming ramen bowl, intriguingly labeled "This is not a bowl of ramen". With a blend of creative styles, the artist has crafted a detailed portrayal of a ramen bowl and its contents, brought to life through vibrant colours. This artwork explores how food has long connected the West and East, inviting you to ponder the unity found in a single bowl of soul-satisfying delight.

The Treachery of Images (This Is Not a Pipe) by René Magritte (1929)
