The BBC ran a recent report on the work of Anya Gallaccio, who has done love it or hate it work with chocolate.

Delicious or revolting? The strange taste of chocolate art https://t.co/aOjw4alaWB

From the piece,

“Artist Anya Gallaccio is honest about her newest artwork.

There’s not much to see in this empty shop on Paisley High Street, but close your eyes and you’ll smell and sense something special.

“What you can smell is intensely concentrated chocolate paint which has been layered onto all four walls,” she explains.

“To some people it will be delicious and to some people it will be revolting.”

“A lot will depend on your relationship with chocolate. It’s definitely not a Willy Wonka type of chocolate room...”

“It was an enormous hit when we first showed it,” says Nicky Wilson, founder and director of Jupiter Art Land.

“All you could see was little hand and fingerprints where toddlers had tried to take off the chocolate.”

Although the work is entitled “stroke”, the amount of touching varies from place to place.”
