Coulter Young has a piece in this group show entitled, Food Fight at the Society of Illustrators, 128 East 63rd Street, New York, NY 10065. This group show runs from November 3 - December 30, 2017. Opening Reception: November 3, 2017 from 6pm - 10pm Cash Bar

From The Society of Illustrators Website:
A form of chaotic, spontaneous, collective behavior comes together for the exhibit FOOD FIGHT! Artist members (Illustrator, Illustrator-S, Educator) of the Society of Illustrators were asked to illustrate their favorite depiction of FOOD and create it in any medium and size of their choice. 
Starting with the emblematic still-life paintings of the Renaissance, artists have found ways to make food look mouthwatering on canvas.  Food holds a special place in visual culture and illustrations of food are an ongoing obsession with artists. The Surreal portrait paintings by Giuseppe Arcimboldo created strange and compelling whimsical portraits in which facial features were composed of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Wayne Thiebaud painted rows of pies and cakes that brought to mind advertisements and childrens toys. Figure With Meat, by Francis Bacon, depicts his long fascination with butcher shops, while Salvador Dali’s cult cookbook, Les Diners De Gala depicts his surrealistic connection to food. Regardless of how artists became inspired to use food as an art medium, it’s the result of a long tradition of food in art.
An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, November 3.
