About this artwork
This large-format portrait of a monkey is an intimate depiction of a once-loved person. The chimpanzee's eyes speak of the simultaneous experience of imprisonment and forgiveness. He is both funny and sad, thus a metaphor for the ambivalence of existence.
This format is suitable for large rooms. Hanging it is incredibly simple, similar to old school maps.

- Works on commission
Barbara Breyer is a painter with a background in photography, whose roots lie in her studies of fine art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. Her technique combines photographic vision with symbolically layered painting, applying acrylic in up to a thousand layers and artfully interweaving realistic and metaphorical imagery. Her works address emotional, social, and political processes and, through riddles and allegories, invite the viewer into a deep, contemplative exploration of complex, often contradictory feelings.
