The artwork, titled “The Great Masturbator,” was created by artist Glenn Brown in the year 2006. It is associated with the Kitsch art movement and falls within the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, there is a vibrant depiction of a person with striking colors and exaggerated textures. The character portrayed seems to have a greenish hue to their skin, lending an eerie and almost surreal quality to the portrait. An elaborate costume with rich, dark tones and a prominent red headscarf add layers to the character’s appearance. The subject’s expression and the pointed gesture give a sense of direct engagement with the viewer, creating an intriguing and contemplative atmosphere. The background is composed of soft, blended colors that complement the striking figure in the foreground.
