statue

A gray day and a snowy landscape. On a small hill stands a large metal statue, colored a heavy dark gray with greenish tinges. The statue is of a person wearing a coat, left hand in their coat pocket, right hand upraised as though giving a speech. The person's head is a box with a question mark on it, like you'd find in a Mario level. There is snow on the statue. In the background is a blurry brown suggestion of trees. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person holding a lantern walks across an open field at night under a clear, starry blue sky. The person is approaching a large statue of a person wearing a suit and tie, hand extended as though giving a speech. The statue has no head; in place of a head is a large, glowing white moon-like smiley-face hovering above the statue.

A statue of a person stands on a small conical rise that looks like the very tip of a mountain. The statue, vaguely Soviet-ish, appears to be made of metal or concrete. It is wearing a coat and its left arm is raised in a wave, as though to a crowd. Its head, though, does not look like the rest of the statue: a spherical, bright yellow emoji with a laughing face. There is a bird perched on top of it. Below, to the right, two small figures about a quarter of the size of the statue are standing together, taking a selfie. The sky is an orange-red and the statue and mountaintop, mostly black, are tinged red.

An enormous stone head: a mouth, eye, and nose carved into a tall obelisk. The eye is a hole drilled right through the stone. The head is situated in the middle of nowhere, on top of a mountain, covered with snow. Visible in the background is a snow-covered treeline of another mountain. The head is covered with garish graffiti: neon pink, white, and green. Next to the head is a person, making the head look the size of a three-story building. Up in the sky is a hawk; the person appears to be signaling to it. The sky is the dull cloudiness of a winter day, with a weak sun filtering through.

A figure with two feet planted in the ground like a statue and a spherical, featureless head. In the figure's left hand, it holds a head or a mask out in front of it. Its right hand is planted on its hip. The head is looking back at the figure. The ground is rocky, with plants and weeds. In the background is a blurry suggestion of a mountainous horizon. The drawing is black ink on a salmon-pink background.

A stumpy stone pedestal stands in the middle of an empty grassy area. On the pedestal is a small, child-sized statue, arms out. The right hand holds a long, crooked staff reaching down to the ground; the left hand holds a flaming torch. The statue is wearing a giant pointed Viking-esque helmet with three horns on it. The helmet is about the size of the statue itself. The background and sky are empty, suggesting an open, barren area.

A very pointed, nearly perfectly conical hill, covered with grass. Balanced on the point of the hill, sort of like a platter on someone's head, is a flat platform, on which stands a large, stone statue. The statue has a humanoid face, but is roughly cut, with no arms or legs, and looks like a religious figurine. Sitting right under the platform, keeping it balanced on the tip of the hill, are two figures. One of them is looking at a phone. The sky is mostly clear, with a few wispy clouds.

A vast, carved figure stands on a wall with a small tag next to it, as though it's in a museum. Disturbingly, the base of it is split open, and a thick tail emerges from the hole in the wall.
