Big Red Something

More about Big Red Something

A surrealist oil painting depicting a monstrous, pink, bird-like creature with a wide, black, gaping mouth full of sharp, white teeth. The creature stands on two spindly, reddish legs on a red and orange barren landscape with rolling hills. Its mouth drips with red and white liquid. In the sky, a large yellow sun or balloon floats to the left, with a small blue flag attached by a string above it. Pink and orange clouds drift around, with various objects scattered amongst them, including small shiny stars, red cherries, and tiny planets or spheres. Thin, dark branches extend from the creature's back and head into the sky, past a white moon and other celestial objects. On the terrestrial ground, a small figure in a white and red outfit with a large hat, possibly a ringmaster or performer, stands alongside a red figure, holding a cup. The sky transitions from light blue to a darker turquoise and green. The artwork has a textured, impasto style, and several drips of paint fall from the sky objects onto the landscape below.
