The artwork titled “Hello x,” created by artist David Lynch in 2013, belongs to the Art Brut movement and falls under the figurative genre. The work depicts a vintage rotary telephone rendered in monochromatic tones. The telephone handset is off the hook and rests beside the main body of the telephone. Above the receiver, the word “hello” is handwritten in a simple, almost childlike script. The artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia and an invitation to communication, encapsulating both the essence of the Art Brut movement and Lynch’s distinctive surrealist touch.
