Takehiro Koshimoto is a Japanese chef and artist who seems to specialise in avocados. This has been dubbed Advocadart by social media. Here are but a couple of examples for review purposes. A search for his name on Facebook, Instagram, etc will reveal several more.

When I first saw this topic I immediately thought of Giuseppe Arcimiboldo (1527-1593) who painted portraits composed entirely of fruits and vegetables (among other things).. Something of a gimmick at the time and not taken very seriously by critics, but pretty amazing. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Arcimboldo and https://duckduckgo.com/?q=arcimboldo&atb=v321-1&iax=images&ia=images1&iax=images&ia=images

 

The paintings "read" normally from a distance but as you get closer you realize that the cheeks of that man are apples.

I've seen some of these works in the Louvre...

But it was definitely before this restoration:
