"The Thinker Monkey" by Banksy is a captivating liquid art piece that merges playful imagery with profound social commentary.

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 black frame not only enhances the artwork's presentation but also underscores its thematic complexity and visual impact.
