AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Monkey Business – XL Canvas Artwork by La Mama

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



Details of the work:
• Edition: Limited to 10 copies (5/10)
• Dimensions: 46 x 66 cm (white border included)
• Medium: Fine art print on premium canvas
• Framing: Artwork sold unframed
• Delivery: Careful and secure packaging
• Certificate of authenticity: Provided by email



Technical and artistic approach:
Created using advanced mixed technique, combining photography, digital painting and manual retouching. Each element is crafted with precision to create a realistic and credible scene, enhancing the contrast between the absurd situation and the refined visual treatment.



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



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