SUMMER BARBECUE

Description:

This piece was inspired by a fond childhood memory of my neighbors who would invite me to their house for barbecues on summer weekends.”

- Robin Antar

“Summer Barbecue” explores America’s sense of nostalgia and comfort through food and friendships. The hamburger is carved with meticulous detail to allow the viewer to “feel” the texture of the beef patty, the softness of the freshly baked bun, and the layers of lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. The honeycomb calcite stone suggests the satisfying crunch of a perfect fry. The serving is arranged in a slightly heaped, casual manner, as if just pulled from the fryer.
