Lime Green Chimp in Urban Decay

About This Artwork

This 29.7 x 42 cm piece captures a striking chimpanzee in a bold lime-green suit, set against a chaotic backdrop of urban decay. The vertical strokes of red paint aggressively block the ears, illustrating a forced ignorance to the surrounding noise, while my brush left an unexpected smudge on the edge of the canvas. Using a mix of acrylic and graffiti-inspired washes, the contrast between the vibrant green suit and the industrial greys emphasizes the artificiality of the 'gentleman' persona. The layers of texture interact with light, creating depth and shadow, giving the piece a tactile quality you'll want to experience in person. I created this while pondering the absurdity of societal norms on a rainy afternoon. The vibrant lime reminded me of street art bursting with life. This 29.7 x 42 cm artwork would make a bold statement above your office desk. It's perfect for collectors who appreciate political pop art with a sense of humor. Here if you need it.
