The R.C. Gorman Chili a la Mode charcuterie board turns the artist’s playful chili-pepper imagery into a practical serving piece. The printed artwork shows a figure reclining at ease in a loose white garment, resting amid a generous cascade of red, green, and yellow chili peppers. A blue hair tie and red earrings add small points of color, and the artist’s signature marks the corner in red.
The design’s pale, warm background keeps the focus on the scattered chilies, giving the board a lighthearted, kitchen-ready energy that suits appetizers, cheese courses, and casual gatherings. Like the rest of the gallery’s gift merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery on a functional object rather than serving as an original artwork.
Pair it with Southwest table linens, bring it out for game day, or gift it to the host who appreciates Southwestern art with a sense of humor.
