“Stump of Tree” is an artwork created by David Lynch in 2013. This piece belongs to the Art Brut movement and is categorized as figurative art.
The artwork depicts a dark, foreboding tree stump that appears almost anthropomorphic, with branches resembling outstretched arms. The background consists of blotchy, abstract stains, adding to the aura of mystique and desolation. A minimalistic black circle, perhaps symbolizing a distant sun or moon, rests in the upper left portion of the piece, while a cloud-like form hovers nearby. The sparse and stark use of black ink against the mostly white background accentuates the eerie and surreal quality for which David Lynch is renowned. The title “stump of tree” is inscribed in lowercase letters near the base, reinforcing the raw and unrefined essence characteristic of Art Brut.
