This wall piece looks like a giant, odd-shaped bug made of wood and plastic. Its body is brown and rounded, with a blue wing folded neatly. One side has a small figure playing a guitar, and the other side has a figure with a frying pan. The legs are yellow and skinny, with little shoes on the ends. The bug’s body is built from flat, colored panels that look like kitchen counters. The artist used real materials—like Formica—to make it look both real and silly at the same time. Check out Richard Artschwager to see more of his playful, everyday-object art.
