Dirk Staschke is an artist that makes a beautiful statement against current culture with his lovely porcelain structures. Finding disdain for our culture's obsession with excess and gluttony, his porcelain sculptures reveal those feelings.
He likes to juxtapose our love of unhealthy, rich foods with beauty. For instance, the towering sculpture of donuts and eclairs has goo disgustingly oozing out of them with a fragile tea cup placed delicately on top which cleverly depicts his beliefs are. Dirk Staschke certainly gets his point across at the expense of some delicious looking food.
