AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Monkey Business – XL Canvas Artwork by La Mama

A monkey, sitting on a toilet, reads his newspaper as if he were an ordinary man. The scene, deliberately absurd, distorts an intimate moment of daily life to create an image that is both funny and unsettling. Behind the humor, the work questions our habits, our relationship with time, boredom, and modern solitude, in a calm and almost melancholic staging.



Details of the work:
• Edition: Limited to 10 copies (3/10)
• Dimensions: 46 x 66 cm (white border included)
• Medium: Fine art print on premium canvas
• Framing: Work sold unframed
• Delivery: Careful and secure packaging
• Certificate of authenticity: Sent by email



Technical and artistic work:
Work realized in advanced mixed-media technique, combining photography, digital painting and manual retouching. Each element is crafted with precision to create a realistic and credible scene, reinforcing the contrast between the absurd situation and the polished visual treatment.



About La Mama:
La Mama explores the boundaries between humor, social satire, and contemporary aesthetics. Their work distorts familiar scenes to reveal deeper readings on the human condition, blending visual elegance with a knowingly ironic tone.



Why this title?
Monkey Business evokes both the absurdity of the scene and the idea of an inverted roles game, where the animal becomes the ironic mirror of our own behaviors.
