BIG APPETITES (2005-Ongoing)
Clamshell Lovers, C-type printed on Kodak Metallic paper
The world is gastronomic: lovers embrace in a clamshell; canoeists set sail on split milk; scuba divers prepare to submerge in a cup of tea; a golfer tees off the top of a cupcake.
Christopher Boffoli (b. Massachusetts, US) belongs to a select group of artists who play with scale, magnifying and subverting the everyday to create a world for his meticulously hand-painted miniature figures to inhabit.
Christopher Boffoli is a Seattle-based photographer, artist, writer and filmmaker. With a background in literature and writing, he worked for more than twelve years in the field of philanthropy before focusing on fine art photography.
He belongs to a select group of artists who play with scale, magnifying and subverting the everyday to create a world for his meticiulously hand-painted miniature figures to inhabit. “There is in some part a god-like feeling to having command of an entire world, which you can rearrange at any capricious whim.”The engaging and humorous results also offer commentary on America’s overconsumption and the country’s sometimes dysfunctional relationship with food.
Represented by galleries in Canada, the US, the UK and Monaco, his work has been published, online and in print, in more than 80 countries around the world.
