hey, so what's up with the robot

2008

A scrappy, handmade assemblage of humble everyday materials, this four-part work by Jon Pylypchuk conjures a childlike yet melancholic creature world where pathos and dark humor collide. Built from wood, artificial fur, rubber, and synthetic resin, the figures possess a raw, DIY tenderness that feels both endearing and unsettling. The work's casually phrased title reinforces Pylypchuk's signature blurring of the absurd and the emotionally sincere.

Medium
wood, artificial fur, rubber, synthetic resin, paper, adhesive and wood glue, in 4 parts
