Cow of the Future

240 x 83 x 160 cm

Meet the future of milk production, Atelier Van Lieshout style. Cattle have evolved into mechanical hybrids with only their productive parts remaining: the alimentary canal and udder, which efficiently sports just one teat instead of four. The abstracted head is merely for show. Even though its body shape resembles an anvil and trestle, it is also reminiscent of the Lascaux cave paintings, which depict, among others, prehistoric bison, a food source from long before cattle were domesticated.
