Giclee print of original painting - Gelada monkey fortune teller with tarot - Victorian seance
£30.00
sold out
A high quality giclee print of an original acrylic painting, depicting a gelada baboon monkey fortune teller, communicating with the dead with her crystal ball and tarot cards.
Mr U. Black, a critic, states: "With the portrait of Madam Gelada the artist is seeking to draw on both our historicity as descended from Primates, but furthermore we suspect through a process of humanization a deeper message is being alluded too. Lurking over the shoulder of Madame Gelada, a spiritualist diviner, we see the tender embrace of the spectre of extinction. But is Madame Gelada, the seer of the future, aware of such visitation?
Examining the cards laid out before her we clearly see four images:
The Troop: Our collective family
The Joker: A proboscis monkey such as features in other works by Ms Jordan. The "Punch" reference is a nod to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
The Acrobat: A spider monkey finds itself momentarily in motion flying from trapezoidal branch to trapezoidal branch, in an instant of fragile elegance.
The final card: The Hunter, depicts the tongue-hungry profile of a leopard: That unremitting focus of the predator unaware of its possible demise surrounded by flames as it is.
We are unsure just how much the artist is aware of these deep drives concerning the ecological fragility typified by species extinction, but the message for the observer remains both stark and powerful. We cannot afford to be blind to what will come as a consequence of what we do now."
This print is part of a series of limited edition prints portraying monkeys of various species, in human-like roles and Victoriana settings.
The image itself measures 42 x 28cm approx and is printed on oversized-A3 Hahnemuhle matt paper (56 x 43 approx). It would look lovely framed in a vintage gilt frame, or a simple dark wooden frame, picked up from your local flea market or boot fair!
This edition is limited to 200 prints.
The images on this listing show both the original scanned painting, and the giclee print version (with the white paper border).
