Dog Versus Hat
work by artist John Tebeau

Fruit and Babies
Brooks Frederick
April 3 – August 6, 2011
Meet the artist Thursday, May 12 @ 7:00
This series of paintings is inspired by the rich food culture of New Orleans and south Louisiana where I grew up. The plastic babies I depict are known as ‘King Cake Babies.’ They are placed inside King Cakes, a cinnamon filled pastry-like cake eaten during Mardi Gras season. Tradition has it that whoever gets the baby throws the next party. Growing up, we kids made a game of finding the baby in the cake.
In this body of work, I am reinvestigating my interest in King Cake Babies, fruit and hot sauce for new purposes: visual one liners, a starting point for a dialogue about human subjects like race relations and intimacy.

Fox News “Good Day Cafe” stopped by Dizzy’s last week for a visit. Matheo and Ben were there and Matheo was showing off his latest grits dish, cheese grits topped with eggs. What’s this “Yankee Boy” doing playing around with this Southern staple, must be from all those years he spent in Missouri. Missouri is part of the South, Right? Whatever, Matheo’s inspiration, these grits are delicious! Come in and check out all the great food Matheo has been whipping up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
