Layer Cake Painting, Original Acrylic Collage Kitchen Wall Art, 16x20
Let Them Eat Cake is an original layer cake painting by independent artist Markus Lewis, made for walls that like a little indulgence. A tall slice sits on a dark scalloped plate, painted in thick, buttery strokes. Three golden sponge layers are separated by ridges of white frosting, and a single red cherry sits on top.
Behind the slice, torn pieces of yellow tissue paper are collaged into soft washes of pale blue, gray, and chartreuse, so the whole surface feels textured and sunlit. The heavy paint and the collaged layers keep it from reading as a plain still life.
The painting is playful and a little indulgent, and its sunny palette brightens a kitchen, dining nook, breakfast room, or bakery wall. It suits cafés and restaurants, and it makes a good gift for dessert lovers and collectors of food art and contemporary still life.
The piece measures 16" x 20" x 0.5" and is made with acrylic, stucco, and paper collage on canvas. It is a one-of-a-kind original, not a print, and it is signed by the artist in the lower right corner. There’s no need to frame it, because the sides are painted.
