NEW YORK, NY.- Alchemy Gallery is hosting What I Eat In A Day, a solo exhibition with Lisa Larsson. The luscious exhibition of hyper-real, still life oil paintings opened Friday, September 15th and will through October 21st at Alchemy Gallery. Lisa Larsson (b.1991 Gothenburg, Sweden) studied Fine Arts at Parsons the New School in New York, where she worked on her art for 8 years, before returning back home and settling in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Larsson’s colorful works manifest a form of escapism that invites a blissful experience: a passion for life.

The exhibition is a feast for the eyes. Large scale canvases showcase a menu of incredibly detailed and rich oil paintings that feature plates of pasta on messy table clothes with half drunk glasses of wine, perfectly baked loaves of sourdough, and lust-worthy cheese platters, all washed down with a bloody mary, a tall glass of lemon water, and a bunch of perfect grapes!

When asked about the series for the show Larsson shares: What I Eat In A Day is a result of self-preservation. I have felt the ongoing pressures of the troublesome state of our world. My practice has been a sanctuary where I can escape from being overwhelmed by my brain. It has been a process of simplicity and happiness. A small and modest theme yet so instrumental to my mental health.

Think of it as a journal of food occupying my thoughts and giving you a small insight into my self-care routine.

With its founders bringing a mature collectorship from their combined 25 years of art advisory, Alchemy Gallery is a young space with an established expertise and industry knowledge guiding it. It's mission is to celebrate that process artistically, by fostering the development of artists at all levels, in all mediums, and championing their art with the right audiences of quality collectors.
