This sculpture is a striking and modern interpretation of a monkey form, where the raw essence of nature meets contemporary artistry. Crafted using a unique technique, it merges lightweight extruded polystyrene foam (styrodur) with a coating of ash and resin, mimicking the texture and presence of solid stone. The contrast between the stone-like body and the plaster-cast head highlights both the fragility and resilience inherent in the piece.
The sculpture is surprisingly light and designed to withstand the elements, making it suitable for a variety of environments, both indoors and out.
With its powerful form and thoughtful construction, this work is a perfect addition for collectors who appreciate art that bridges the gap between nature and modernity, all while embodying strength, endurance, and subtle sophistication.
