Monkey Business

Title: Monkey Business

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Year: 2021
Dimensions: 60 × 60 × 3.5 cm
Style: Abstract Expressionism

A riot of movement and mischief, Monkey Business captures the restless energy of its namesake through swirling pastels and frenetic brushwork. The painting’s layered composition suggests a flurry of playful figures—round, expressive forms that hint at grinning faces, swinging limbs, and gleeful chaos. Soft pinks, electric blues, and warm yellows meld together in an unpredictable dance, creating a sense of constant motion.

There is an underlying humor within the abstraction, a lightheartedness that contrasts with the painting’s deliberate complexity. Like monkeys in a jungle, the forms appear to chatter, leap, and tumble, their movements impossible to contain. The bold, gestural strokes add a sense of spontaneity, reinforcing the theme of unrestrained joy. Monkey Business is an invitation to embrace the playful, the unpredictable, and the beautifully chaotic moments of life.
