Just about anything can be passed off as art these days. A balloon with a happy face drawn on with a black biro. A dog poo on a lolly stick. A carton of Ribena with a six inch nail through it. A photo of a nun handing out grenades to children…
This rather disturbing resin model of Pac-Man’s skull is definitely art though. It’s a collaboration between artist Le Gentil Garçon and palaeontologist François Escuillié, and has been designed with both human and animal characteristics in mind. It’s a good job they didn’t use this appalling piece of Pac-Man artwork as source material.
We’ve got a question though – where are his eye sockets?!
