Mixed-Media-Oil, Size: 42×60cm
Background:
If monkeys ran the world, would we still call it evolution?
A playful twist on a classic, The Thinker features a monkey striking the famous pose of August Rodin’s sculpture, deep in thought.
The Thinker is pondering life, politics, and probably a banana shortage.
The painting reminds us that our thoughts shape the reality that we create. At the same time, the question is asked, who is really thinking, and how logical are the decisions that govern our world?
A mix of fun and philosophy, this painting is perfect for art lovers who enjoy a bit of humor with their deep thoughts.
Process:
The abstract underpainting, reminiscent of graffiti art, painted with thicker layers of acrylic to create texture, brings an urban energy to the piece, while the carefully painted monkey in oils stands out with a striking gold leaf contour.
If you're interested in The Thinker, feel free to reach out here. You can pick it up at House of Mica Art Studio in Malmö, or we can ship internationally (packaging and shipping costs are approx. $50).
