The Coffee Art Project
In between espressos and a lot of filter samples I stumbled over to a quiet corner at Truman Brewery (@TrumanBrewery) yesterday where The Coffee Art Project (@CoffeeArtProject) had set up shop on the second floor of the London Coffee Festival (@LondonCoffeeFestival)
I was pretty over-caffeinated by the time I got there, so I didn’t get to count how many works were on show. Maybe probably about 40-50 in total, all priced at a few hundred £ or less, with all proceeds going to Project Waterfall (@Project_Waterfall) — “the charity of choice for the coffee industry, working to end the water crisis in our lifetime”.
Here are five that caught my eye:
Image 1 = “Pacate Ingeresti” by Elena Bissinger — oil on canvas, 60 x 60 cm
Image 2 = Detail of “Pacate Ingeresti”
Image 3 = “Café sin Diamantes” by Roberto Gutiérrez Currás (@RobertoGCurras) — mixed media, 25 x 25 cm
Image 4 = “Square of Yirgacheffe 2019” by Martynas Pekarskas (@aliejusantdrobes) — coffee grounds on canvas, 60 x 60 cm

Image 6 = “Climpsons” by Fiona Charalambous — Acrylic & Watercolour on Wood
Image 7 = “Acrylic on Jute” by Johan Milosevic — acrylic on jute, 140 x 100 cm
