Knife Art

Knife art is a form of blade art that is used widely in kitchens and other room around the home. This art category doesn't only include cutlery of the butter knife variety, however. It also includes the knives that are used for the preparation of food. These works can be graphic or representational in nature and are a highly popular option for people who are looking for 'edgy' style that has a lot of versatility to offer.

Knife art has been pursued by several modern artists. Like most artwork featuring cutlery, there are a diverse range of culinary subjects to choose from, whether the subject is fine dining or homely locales. However, there is one important difference when it comes to knife art: the blade. Because of the graphic and psychological effect on people who see the sharp blades in this art category, many artists decide to use this dramatically appealing item as its own subject, rather than as a symbol of food. This means that, unlike spoon or fork art, there's a place for knife art outside of the kitchen.
