Artwork location: United States

This intriguing artwork showcases a quartet of vibrantly colored, anthropomorphic figures, celebrating a whimsical and surreal aesthetic. Each character is distinct, yet they cohesively contribute to the dazzling and peculiar visual narrative of the piece. The figure on the far left is an absurdly charming, green and orange entity. Its facial features are marked by large yellow eyes and a stitched, almost skeletal, mouth. Two antennae extend from its head, solidifying its extraterrestrial vibe. The dress-like orange garment adds a playful contrast to its alien anatomy, defying conventional design norms. Beside the green figure stands a humanoid character with a minimalist but intense presence. Displaying human-like features, the figure is dressed in a royal blue shirt and gray trousers. Its face is rendered with exaggerated, almost haunting, circular yellow eyes and sparse hair, giving it a uniquely eerie yet somehow relatable persona. Notably, an arrow points to this character, labeled “The Fragile One," insinuating a narrative depth and hinting at underlying fragility or vulnerability despite the striking exterior. The third figure is equally mesmerizing, with a striking purple and yellow striped body, further highlighted by two tiny, delicate antennae on its head. Its features, with a mix of alien and human attributes, suggest a hybrid form that blends elements of the strange and the familiar, creating a figure that's both bizarre and enchanting. On the far right, the final character exhibits an imposing rabbit-like design in vivid pink. The elongated ears and stark yellow eyes, bordered by black, add to its unsettling charm. The thin, elongated nature of this figure's form, exaggerated facial features, and the minimalistic rendering of its bodily details make it a captivating focal point within this unique ensemble. The artwork teems with a sense of peculiarity and a playful exploration of form and color, inviting viewers into a world that straddles the line between the familiar and the fantastical. This piece firmly asserts itself as a testament to imaginative prowess, boldly blending elements of human and cartoonish dreamscape in a brilliantly unconventional manner.

Imagine it at home

Bunkt_, The Chosen One
United States  • 1972

Presentation

Bunkt_ is an artist living in New Hampshire who was born in 1972. Bunkt_'s art has been compared to punk rock because of its imperfect and raw emotion. Bunkt_'s art doesn't talk to you, it screams at you.

A completely self-taught artist, Bunkt_ began painting for the first time at the age of 45. Bunkt_ was given an early boost of confidence when after only a few short months of painting he was chosen to show his work at the local art gallery. This early success has led bunkt_ on a relentless path of painting and self-discovery. Bunkt_ paints constantly, his work changes and evolves at a rapid pace. The lack of training and no art school has allowed bunkt_ to create art that is authentic, experimental and lawless.


Artist Statement : 

“My art is guided by emotion, anxiety, excitement and anger. My art is created amongst chaos. My studio floor is covered with supplies and unconventional materials. My paintings are constantly changing and evolving and may go through many phases before they are complete. Often my work is glued, stapled, burnt, cut and rearranged again and again. The final product tells a story of both hardships and resilience. My art is not perfect and it is not beautiful.”
