Winner of nine awards including Best artwork of a Coffee Shop in the recent Coffee Shop Art Awards.
Inspired by Auguste-Louis de Rossel de Cercy’s painting of his favourite chocolate house in 18th century London, this piece is a nod to the boutique caffè that are taking over London. “Coffee, properly made, can be almost smelt from this artwork,” says Andrea Quellia, judge of the Coffee Shop Art Awards. “I for one would like this picture in my collection, between the painting of a bag of Ethiopian beans and Tolstoy’s coffee pot, which I bought in an auction in Beirut in 1999.”
