Marmite is toast of the art world
Suzy Austin, Metro23 Oct 2006
It's an entirely new genre of art dubbed 'Marmart' - and, like the yeast extract spread, you'll either love it or hate it.
Creator Dermot Flynn is exhibiting his portraits of celebrities on pieces of toast daubed with Marmite, that notorious divider of opinion-The idea is that they are all people-Britons either loathe or adore.
Singer Charlotte Church, Tory leader David Cameron, chef Gordon Ramsay and singer James Blunt are among the famous names immortalisedon toast.
Flynn, 30, of London, said: 'I wanted to create portraits which polarised the nation.'
Flynn's Marmart - or Marmite Toast Art - is on display at Air Gallery, Dover Street, London, until Saturday.
