This is our painting. It's not, by the way, askew. I am.
As you can see, it's gold foil, textured and scrunchy in places, with photos of monkeys, and nice pink drippy splotchy paint circles here and there. It's covered in a thick coating of resin which makes it really glossy and luminous. We call it "Monkeys with Pink Circles" Isn't that clever? We also call it October's mortgage (oh well).
It's quite large - about 4-feet tall and 2 feet across - so it certainly says "hey you! over here! look at me!" just the way real monkeys would. Stella's convinced they're people. And even though I know people just don't have tails, if you look at them closely and long enough you might just believe that they could.
Steven Nederveen is the artist. You can see his other stuff here. I might need to have the gold fish on white instead of groceries...

steve has hit it big time by the way showing in europe and selling out at all the big art fairs.His prices have shot up and the piece you have now may cover two mortgage payments.
