£30.00
sold out
A high quality giclee print of an original acrylic painting, depicting three infant golden snub nosed monkeys unleashing turmoil in their plush nursery, overlooked but unaffected by the stern portrait of the admiral patas monkey on the back wall.
One critic writes: "The portrait of the admiral uppermost in the painting clearly represents the firm hand of Victorian society and the patriarchy. The baby monkey in bonnet and ribbons we assume to be female, tears out the long blonde hair of her doll with her teeth, in an unremitting attack on conventional standards of beauty. She regards the viewer with a dispassionate, remorseless gaze, as the painting simultaneously tears apart the romanticised Victorian ideals of The Female and The Child. The comparative scale between dollhouse and primate calls into our collective consciousness the image of the titanic King Kong scaling the Empire State Building with blonde beauty in fist. The question arises - who is the real beast? The monkey ravaging the doll, or the artist who has dressed these monkeys and forced them to pose for the painting? Incoherent though it may be, the writing is on the wall."
Response from the artist - "I like monkeys and just wanted to paint a pretty picture."
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 39.5 x 26cm approx and is printed on oversized-A3 Hahnemuhle matt paper (48 x 33cm 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).
