Paintings and Chefs

It’s not often anyone gets to combine the fascinating yet distinct worlds of art and gastronomy, but as part of our work with the Judit Virag Gallery and Auction House, we were able to do just that. Our communications focused on bringing young art enthusiasts to the gallery with a creative programme entitled Paintings and Chefs, a co-operation between the gallery and gastronomical whiz kid Robert Rosenstein. The evening enriched the discourse around adventurous painters of the 1920s and 1930s such as Bela Kadar, Hugo Scheiber, and Bela Czobel paired alongside inventive gastronomical creations inspired by their lives and work.

Philip de Laszlo’s lost paintings

Zerocom was commissioned by the UK-based The de Laszlo Trust to work on a public relations campaign to raise awareness to the lost paintings of Philip de Laszlo, one of Europe’s greatest portrait painters. Amongst many royalties, head of states, famous and influential people, he portrayed The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, Pope Leo XIII, Empress Elizabeth of Austria, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and many more. As part of the project, we produced a short documentary filmed in the artist’s villa-studio with the art historians, Bea Somfalvi, Nora Winkler and Gabor Bellak.
