The artwork titled “Clay Head with Turkey, Cheese and Ants” was created by David Lynch in 1991. This piece is classified under the Neo-Expressionism art movement and belongs to the figurative genre.
In the artwork, there is a prominently featured sculpted clay head that appears to be simplistic and rudimentary in its form. The head exhibits basic facial features, such as eyes, nostrils, and an open mouth, all rendered in a crude manner. The setting is suffused with an intense red hue, casting a dramatic and eerie atmosphere over the scene. Delicate, almost invisible threads or thin lines can be observed, possibly indicating the presence of additional elements like the referenced turkey, cheese, and ants, though these are not immediately discernible. The overall composition carries a sense of surrealism and mystery, characteristic of David Lynch’s distinctive artistic style. The use of vivid color and unconventional materials further accentuates the unsettling yet captivating nature of the piece.
