According to the extremely brief website biography, Carl Warner was born in Liverpool in 1963 and has spent most of his life drawing and taking pictures. He has worked mainly in the advertising industry for the past twenty years, based at his London studio, and now lives with his (as he says) "long suffering" wife and four children in the Kent countryside.

Selon la biographie très brève sur son site, Carl Warner est né à Liverpool en 1963 et il a passé la plupart de sa vie à dessiner et à faire du photo. Il a travaillé principalement pour la pub depuis vingt ans, dans son atelier à Londres, et il vit aujourd'hui avec (comme il dit) sa femme "qui supporte tout depuis toujours" et leurs quatre enfants à la campagne de Kent.

There is not an awful lot of information out there on Carl. For starters, his foodie photos have been doing the rounds on the French-speaking internet with an unfortunate error: the French speakers think his given name is "Car". I did manage to find a French site that added another precious bit of information: he can't get his children to eat their vegetables.

"Fruit Balloons and Cart": fruit and vegetable "balloons", broccoli, potatoes, corn, zucchini, asparagus, carrot church, cheese village
"Ballons de fruit et charrette": "ballons" en fruit et légumes, broccoli, pommes de terre, mais, courgette, asperge, église en carotte, village en fromage

Il n'y pas beaucoup d'information là sur Carl. Pour commencer, ses photos gastronomiques font le tour de l'internet francophone avec une erreur malheureuse: les francophones pensent que son prénom est "Car". Mais j'ai réussi à trouver un site français avec encore un bout d'information précieuse: il peut pas faire manger de légumes à ses enfants.

"Tuscan Kitchen": vegetables, pasta, cheese
"Cuisine toscane": légumes, pâtes, fromage

His website is well worth a visit: his more "ordinary" work has a striking yet eery hyper-reality to it that explains his successful advertising career. His clever transformations of the ordinary into the extraordinary are not limited to only food, recalling the wit of a Pablo Picasso having a look at a bicycle seat...

"Stainless Steel City"
"Ville en Inox"

Son site vaut la visite: son travail plus "ordinaire" possède une hyper-réalité étrange et frappante qui explique sa carrière à succès dans la pub. Ses malins transformations du quotidien en chose remarkable ne sont pas limitées à l'alimentaire; il rappelle l'esprit d'un Pablo Picasso considérant le siège de son vélo...
