Wonderfully created and delivered\u00a0they evoked strong emotions through their colour association and &#8211; what I found interesting &#8211;\u00a0their names.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian artist, Groh is known to use bold and lively colours\u00a0 together with food symbolism to create an overwhelming sense of emotions bordering on happiness, excitement and fascination.\u00a0 \u2018<em>Chicken Vindaloo\u2019<\/em> spanned two boards and gave a strong sense of exoticism. The colours strongly resemble Indian spices involving deep yellows and vibrant reds. This only comes to mind after one views the title of the piece, and makes the association &#8211;\u00a0a fiery delivery indeed. The other piece that was eye-catching in it\u2019s detail and colour use was \u2018<em>Aromatic Butternut Pumpkin Curry<\/em>\u2019. The fact that this is a finger painting already implies great textural detail. The colours\u00a0are\u00a0mainly\u00a0warm as well as seeming \u2018burnt\u2019 in some parts. The reds and yellows evoked a strong culinary symbolism in an aesthetically pleasing ensemble.<\/p>\n<p>by Haafiz Karim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>by Haafiz Karim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wonderfully created and delivered they evoked strong emotions through their colour association and &#8211; what I found interesting &#8211; their names. <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/?p=16086\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-briefs","category-haafiz-karim"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16086"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16089,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16086\/revisions\/16089"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
