Crowded Table by Anastasia Inciardi

Growing up Italian American, food has always been central to my family; entire weeks were planned around meals and every outing or activity involved some sort of culinary reward. As a child, I loved Richard Scarry, Eric Carle, and Wayne Thiebaud for their bold color choices and food references. I wanted to convey a similar nostalgic quality in Crowded Table to connect people to others. This piece is a 90-layer print of all my favorite foods. It’s fun!

You may know Inciardi from her now-viral Mini Print Vending Machine. Her vibrant and poppy mini linocut prints have taken social media by storm, and we’re not surprised. There is inherent nostalgic joy baked into each image she produces. Choosing from her favorite simple pleasures, Inciardi highlights the candid characteristics of common comestibles in the whimsical renderings of Crowded Table.

From pantry staples to childhood treats, there's no guilt to be found in these small pleasures.Crowded Table celebrates our knack for noshing. No judgment here. This may be the perfect print to jazz up your kitchen. Or a snazzy select for a home-cookin’ kid. Or heck, hang it up big in your living room as a conversation piece. Believe us, everyone has something to say about art like this. Whether for a linocut lover, dining doyenne, or simply that friend who’s always hungry, this print is a winner. So pull up a chair to this Crowded Table—we’ll make room.
