Chinese artist Ju Duoqi poses with her work Napoleon On Potatoes during her vegetable-made painting exhibition, The Vegetable Museum, in the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery at the Factory 798 in the Dashanzi Art District in Beijing, China, Tuesday, 25 November 2008. Vegetables can be described as delicious, or nutritious or even colorful, calling them artistic is a bit of a stretch. But Ju Duoqi, a talented young Chinese artist, has used vegetables to recreate some of the masterpieces of western painting. The Raft of the Lotus Roots, French painter Th¨¦odore Gericaults famous painting (Raft of the Medusa) recreated using vegetables by Chinese artist Ju Duoqi. Her works, the Vegetable Museum series, are on show at the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery in the 798 art district from November 23, 2008 until January 24, 2009. Mixing everyday vegetables such as tofu, cabbage, ginger, lotus roots, coriander and sweet potato, and adding a dash of digital manipulation, Ju presents a puzzling series of vegetable compositions representing world famous paintings like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper by Leonard Da Vinci, The Dream by Pablo Picasso and Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol.
