Hot Tomato Summer

It’s the height of summer, which means tomato season is just around the corner—or already bursting at the seams, depending on where you live. From heirloom varieties in every shade to sun-warmed cherry tomatoes plucked right off the vine, there’s something undeniably joyful about this humble fruit. It’s no surprise that artists across time and style have turned to tomatoes as a subject: they’re colorful, sculptural, and quietly iconic. Whether rendered in bold graphic shapes or painterly still lifes, a tomato on your wall feels like a little celebration of everyday beauty.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite tomato-themed art that’s playful, punchy, and perfect for the season.
