The artwork, titled “Sally’s in the Kitchen,” is a creation by artist David Lynch and belongs to the Art Brut movement. It is a figurative painting depicting various elements that appear to underline a narrative or a scene with an expressive and unconventional approach.
In the artwork, a brown automobile is showcased in the foreground. The vehicle is depicted from the side, with simplistic and somewhat distorted outlines, signifying the raw and unrefined aesthetic characteristic of Art Brut. A plume of dark, smudged smoke rises ominously from the rear of the car, adding a dramatic and somewhat unsettling element to the piece. In the background, a figure with a raised hand is seen amidst a contrasting lighter backdrop, and an aeroplane is depicted flying overhead. The words “Sally’s in the Kitchen!!” are written dismissively in the sky above the vehicle, contributing a surreal and cryptic narrative to the scene. The overall color scheme is muted, with an emphasis on earthy tones, and the use of heavy shadowing accentuates the rough and raw quality of the drawing.
