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 disturbing. Behind the humor, the artwork questions our habits, our relationship to time, to boredom, and to modern loneliness, in a calm and almost melancholic staging.
