“Head #3 (from the Series ‘Small Stories’)” is a work of art by David Lynch, created in 2013. The artwork is an example of the Art Brut movement and falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork depicts a surreal and haunting image of a faceless head set against a stark black background. The head, rendered in grayscale, lacks distinguishable facial features, presenting an eerie and unsettling aura. At the center of the face, a rectangular cut is present, from which small, teardrop-like shapes appear to emanate. The minimalist yet striking composition evokes a sense of mystery and introspection, characteristic of Lynch’s evocative style. The use of simple forms and dark tones aligns with the ideals of the Art Brut movement, emphasizing raw emotional expression over conventional aesthetics.
