// Pudding by Paul McCarthy, created in 1999, is a provocative sculpture that plays on themes of consumerism, humor, and discomfort. Made from mixed media, the piece resembles a container of red gelatin-like substance, placed on a plastic zip-lock bag. The simplicity of everyday materials evokes an unsettling sense of familiarity, yet also a grotesque fascination. McCarthy’s work frequently challenges societal norms and explores the boundary between humor and the grotesque, drawing viewers into a space of both attraction and repulsion. This editioned object, with a limited run of 100, reflects McCarthy’s ongoing critique of mass-produced culture and bodily associations.

What is Uncanny?
The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
