// 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 body art?
Body art involves creating art directly on or with the human body. Common forms include body piercings and tattoos, but it also encompasses practices like branding, scarification, scalping, body painting, full-body tattoos, body shaping, and sub-dermal implants. Body art can also refer to a subcategory of performance art where the artist's body is central to the artwork.
