Paul Renner is a singularly bold artist whose activities span painting, performance art, jubilant social theater, and hyperadventurous cuisine. He creates ecstatic feasts that present food as sculpture and paintings as mythic backdrops, set within environments that transform the experience of his guest-eaters into art. His actions are anarchic, subversive, and experimental, and his exhibitions upend notions of luxury and thrift through sloppy/succulent ingredient pairings, unfussy presentation, and his own presence—that of a hyper-sane artist acting the role of unhinged chef. Renner lives in Bregenzerwald, Austria, and Capri, Italy.
