That's what I saw at first at glance too, but it's clearly a record player if you look at it.
Sorry people won't think for 1 second before replying.

First glance also looks a bunny in a pot. But honestly, bunny in a pot makes more sense than bunny on a vinyl player.

I don’t want to skin this rabbit I caught.
Why shouldn’t I just cook it with the fur on?
No one will know.
Why do they cut off the fur anyways? Chicken is cooked with the skin on and it is delicious.
Who is going to stop me?
No one! I will cook my rabbit with fur and eat it too!

The best art gives you a gut reaction. It's arguably a strength that the first glance is one that garnishes offense..
That said.. even knowing its a record player, that bunny is still dead AF.

u/KTMman200 1h ago
Nah, the bunny looks alive to me, just super passed out. It's chin is down towards its chest. Usually if they die in that position their head tilts back. So it looks like a safe conked out bunny.
But it definitely "garnishes" offence if "served" without context.

u/Parzival2436 1h ago
Yeah it's not great if it gives you the wrong reaction though. If it was intended to be cozy and people get upset, that's not "a strength". The only strength I can see there is that it's at least realistic looking.

u/TirbFurgusen 59m ago
I think it's great. It's art, it's subjective and gives emotion either way. I want to know what record it is. What's the story behind this? Is the rabbit dead? I didn't think it was at first and certainly didn't think it was being cooked fur and all but what if it was a frying pan? What's the story behind that? Some inexperienced starving socialite in war time? It could be so many things and nothing but I'm thinking about it. It's excellent art imo.

That is the first thing I saw, mainly because of how it's laying. I know some rabbits sleep like that but if it wasnt laying like that it would be more clear that it's resting and not dead. Maybe even if it was less curled up. It is a very sweet painting though.
Edit: yes, most rabbits don't sleep like that. Some do so I'm giving op leniency there because it's the pose they wanted it to be in and it's cute when they do.

I don’t disagree at all. It’s art! it’s subjective even if the painter painted objectively.

I honestly saw a rabbit on a pan at first glance, and with how amazing it looked, I thought it was a artistic stand on the meat industry.
When I looked at it longer than a second, I could tell it was a record player. Still looks amazing but kinda loses the whole “artists tells a story” thing and would only make up for it if the inspiration was from an irl moment.

Personally, my version of mildly infuriating is when people say “a vinyl” instead of “a record” or “vinyl record”.
Vinyl is the type of plastic used. Vinyl record works, and it is correct to say “I have that album on vinyl,” but just saying “a vinyl” as a noun is grammatically incorrect
(Emphasis on mild, I’m not coming after OP like people came for them for the rabbit looking like dinner to some)

u/Excellent_Condition 24m ago
If we are being pedantic (and I do enjoy a good pedantic argument), there are lots of types of records as well. Birth records, marriage records, etc.
I think the argument could be made that vinyl record" is the most correct, but "record" is as ambiguous and non-specific as "vinyl."
Alternatively, it could be argued that any of them is fine because it's clear from context that OP means a vinyl record, not a piece of plastic or a birth certificate.

Looked like a pan to me too as I was scrolling by. The thick white lines on the record gives the illusion of depth. Also the white record center combined with the rabbit’s feet look like stew/vegetables.

I saw it as a hare sleeping on a vinyl record. Their interpretation is valid too I suppose but the painting is great on its own merit.

I mean some people eat rabbit and some people don't. Just like fish or red meat. I'll always be an advocate for animal rights, but this is an amazing painting that is a conversation piece. I think it's interesting how other people's interpretations can make us feel differently about our art, But interpretation is half of the reason that art is made! I think you should always take things people have to say with a grain of salt And if they don't like your explanation, they don't have to like your art. What matters is that YOU like your art 😉
