Melting into a galaxy of color, the gorilla is almost hidden while appearing in the spotlight in this painting. The artist has used vibrant pigments to create an atmosphere of urban funk in contrast to the lifelike portrait of the jungle primate and his unreadable expression. Clear lines and attention to shading make the gorilla stand out through the canvas, in this almost 3D interpretation. Its powerful gaze magnified by the strong, edgy palette and nuanced light and shade in the painting. The energy of the painting is reflected in a hidden smile- mysterious, powerful and playful.
