Discovery of Gigantopithecus

More about Discovery of Gigantopithecus

A surreal painting, oil on canvas, depicts a lonely figure in a black suit and wide-brimmed hat, standing on a dark, undulating landscape that dips into a murky lake or puddle. The figure, seen from the back, gazes towards a colossal, smooth, skull with large, black, wide eyes and a wide, toothy grin, partially submerged in a dark, wave-like formation of the landscape. Above this creature, a single yellow umbrella on a tall stick casts a shadow. Several small, bare, branch-like growths stand around the creature. In the background, an overcast beige sky fills the upper half of the image. Scattered throughout the landscape and water are floating orange spheres, some tethered by thin strings, and small, red, berry-like objects. Another smaller, white skull with dark eyes is visible near the larger skull, and a textured, seed-like object floats in the water. The overall impression is one of solitude and eerie wonder.
