Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

These two postcards burst with vibrant energy, bringing a kaleidoscope of life and colour to our whirlwind times. They celebrate the joy of existence through the lens of food, showcasing an abundance of tantalising hues that ignite the senses. With an obsessive nature, these postcards capture the essence of fun and engagement, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world of deliciousness and visual delight. They are an invitation to celebrate life in all its vibrant, flavourful glory.

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
