Waiter art is a category of art that depicts a variety of services being performed by service staff. These works are often considered occupational images and portray both waiters and waitresses in a variety of areas, doing a variety of things. Like many wine and food prints these images are often whimsical and have a warm color scheme that will appeal to art audiences for decorative purposes
in both the home and business.
Many works of waiter art are wine and food prints. These culinary service paintings often feature fancy restaurants, cafes, bars, and other areas where service staff can be found. Images like 'Jack' by Will Rafuse is one example of these images. However, many waiter images show only the waiter, while leaving the background to the viewers' imagination, as seen in the culinary service picture 'Happy Hour!' by Tracy Flickinger. Despite these differences in locale, images within waiter art nearly always contain certain similar elements, such as mood, uniform, and, of course, food and wine.
Occupational images like waiter art are perfect for homes or businesses that have a service-oriented decorative theme. These culinary service paintings are often seen in such professional venues as bars, cafes, and restaurants. Within the home, these wine and food prints can frequently be found in kitchens, dining rooms, and other areas where good food and families interact.
Although many works of waiter art contain the same general subject matter, culinary service paintings come in a nearly every style imaginable to modern art audiences.
