We eat with our eyes as much as our stomachs. Food and visual art share a
profound history throughout the ages. Ten years before launching dArt
International Magazine, publisher Steve Rockwell served an actual sandwich
as art at the Arnold Gottlieb Gallery in Toronto. Then as now, Steve
exhibited collage works along with his food creation.

In this exhibition Steve Rockwell creates a subject for his collages that might be
consumed by both eye and stomach. Here at De Luca Fine Art | Gallery, by making
an art magazine the subject,Steve Rockwell links reading and eating, delivering a
readers and eaters digest, if you will.

As part of this exhibition De Luca Fine Art | Gallery features for the first
time two art short films produced by Steve Rockwell & Ben Marshall and
directed by award winning director James Cooper.

The opening reception on July 7th will be filmed as part of a short
documentary about the making and unveiling of the dArt Burger.
