# French-Fry Lipstick Art Designer Matija Erceg Fused Raw Food with Average Household Items By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-08-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matija-erceg References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2015/08/05/matija-erceg-creates-humorous-images-with-raw-food-and-everyday-objects/) & [srsdsgn](http://srsdsgn.com/) Vancouver-based graphic designer Matija Erceg created this artistic collection of raw food art. Each piece of art is created to mimic an average household item but is done so with food as its medium. All of these images are clever interpretations that fuse daily items with edible snacks. For example, there is an image of a [tube of lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat) that features a french fry as its lipstick wand. The french fry is topped with a [dollop of ketchup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup), which happens to be the exact same color as the lipstick itself. Matija Erceg makes a clever connection between food and household items in her unique art series. While many viewers will understand the connections, these visual prompts are unexpected and challenge one's perception. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Raw Food Art:** Exploring the creative use of raw food as a medium for artistic expression. - **Edible Object Fusion:** Combining everyday household items with edible snacks to create visually striking art. - **Food Perception Challenge:** Challenging viewers' perception by presenting unexpected visual prompts using food and familiar objects. ### Where This Applies - **Graphic Design:** Opportunities to incorporate food as a medium in graphic design projects, blending art and culinary creativity. - **Food Industry:** Innovative approaches to food presentation and creative collaborations with artists to enhance the visual experience of food. - **Consumer Goods:** Exploring the intersection of food and everyday products to create unique and attention-grabbing promotional materials or packaging designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crinkle Fry-Inspired Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fries-clips.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Savory Condiment Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filipinta-beauty.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Food-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vandy-the-pink-3.md)
