Have you ever considered the importance of pleasing all five senses in a restaurant environment? Taste and quality of the food may be priority, but design and d\u00e9cor, scents and more, all play into the satisfaction of customers and the success that the food industry desires.<\/p>\n

As you walk past the CPS Caf\u00e9<\/a> in the College of Professional Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, you experience the enticing aroma of the delicious healthy meals that are being prepared, luring in your taste buds. Now, there\u2019s a whole new way to experience food in the CPS Caf\u00e9 with the addition of seven pieces of artwork by senior Alexander Landerman ’13<\/a>. Customers can experience this new collection, which creatively depicts various fruits and vegetables including an apple, onion, artichoke, garlic clove, grapes, raspberries and peppers, while enjoying their meal.<\/p>\n

Landerman\u2019s creativity was inspired by his roots. \u201cI was born and raised in Central Wisconsin in the small town of Stockton on the outskirts of Stevens Point,\u201d said Landerman, who is majoring in art with a two-dimensional emphasis. \u201cMy childhood was largely spent outdoors hunting, fishing and camping where I developed a passion for plants and animals.”<\/p>\n

Landerman was awarded the Public Art Symposium by the Carlsten Gallery Student Advisory Committee in 2012 and was given the opportunity to create seven original pieces of artwork for UW-Stevens Point’s permanent art collection. \u201cMy intent was to create a small body of work dealing with the universal language of food,\u201d said Landerman, who combines letterpress printing and drawing. \u201cBy printing the same word in different languages for a particular fruit or vegetable and then drawing that item over the text, I hope to show a commonality between us all\u2014the necessity for quality food. This is something the CPS Caf\u00e9 is known to provide to our students, faculty and community members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CPS Caf\u00e9 not only works to serve some of the most quality meals for its customers, but it offers an inviting atmosphere as well, especially with the newly added d\u00e9cor by Landerman. Lining the walls of the CPS Caf\u00e9, the intriguing collection creatively reveals his intent of demonstrating the universal language of food and enhances the overall experience of the caf\u00e9. As students, faculty and other customers settle in to eat their lunch, they can now feel a sense of connectivity to diverse cultures as they observe the unique artwork.<\/p>\n

The CPS Caf\u00e9 is a unique food service business open to the public. Dietetics students operate the caf\u00e9 and experience all aspects of food service operation and management.<\/p>\n
