A brand new black framed liquid art picture by Banksy titled The Thinker Monkey. 

Size - 30" height, 38" width. 

Frame Colour - Black

"The Thinker Monkey" by Banksy is a captivating liquid art piece that merges playful imagery with profound social commentary. Enclosed in a sleek black frame, this artwork measures 30 inches in height and 38 inches in width, making it a striking focal point in any space. The black frame enhances the artwork's contrast and clarity, framing it with modern elegance while emphasizing its thematic depth.

At the centre of "The Thinker Monkey" is a depiction of a monkey in Banksy's signature stencil style, posed contemplatively with one hand on its chin in a manner reminiscent of Rodin's "The Thinker." This juxtaposition of a monkey, traditionally seen as a symbol of mischief and playfulness, in a pose associated with deep thought and introspection, challenges viewers to reconsider the boundaries between human intellect and animal instinct.

The use of the liquid art technique enriches the artwork's visual appeal, adding layers of texture and depth. The liquid medium enhances the vibrancy of colours, giving the piece a dynamic and lifelike quality. The glossy finish interacts with light, illuminating the details of Banksy's stencilled figure and highlighting the contrast between the monkey's curious expression and the serious pose it adopts.

With its dimensions of 30 inches in height and 38 inches in width, "The Thinker Monkey" commands attention and invites viewers to engage with its playful yet thought-provoking narrative. The black frame not only enhances the artwork's presentation but also underscores its thematic complexity and visual impact. Through "The Thinker Monkey," Banksy encourages contemplation on the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and the intersection between humanity and the animal kingdom, making it both a visually compelling and intellectually stimulating picture.
