Grymas

Grymas is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a fictional character and a style of painting.

The most well-known Grymas is a character from the McDonald's fast-food chain's advertising. He is a large, purple, blob-like creature with a wide mouth and is often depicted as a friend of Grimace. Grymas was originally conceived as a villain but was later re-imagined as a more friendly character. His appearance and role in marketing have evolved over the decades.

In the context of art, "Grymas" can also refer to a style of painting characterized by a deliberate use of rough textures, often achieved through impasto techniques or by incorporating unconventional materials into the paint. This style can evoke a sense of raw emotion or a visceral connection to the subject matter. Artists who employ a Grymas style might focus on conveying a feeling or atmosphere rather than precise representation. The term is not widely recognized as a formal art movement but is sometimes used descriptively by critics or enthusiasts.
