Eat Me. The Gluttony or Lust — Fine Art

Eat Me. The Gluttony or Lust - 1976 shows a bold printed phrase in clear type against a plain ground, a visual pun on excess that fits the language based art Lygia Pape practiced. The letters stand in a simple sans serif face, reading as both a command and a warning.

A white frame gives this fine art print a clean edge on the wall. The pale finish does not compete with the text, and the dark letters stay easy to read. The frame finish keeps the picture from spilling into the room.

On a kitchen wall near a kettle, the phrase catches the light when you pass by. The words sit at eye level above the counter, and the quiet room turns the command into something you notice while waiting for the water to boil.
