About The Artwork

This work is acrylic, pencil, collage and screenprint on archival paper. It is float-mounted in a semi-gloss white frame. The dimensions include frame. I had been considering the unfortunate plight of horses used in horse racing and circuses. In this image a triumphant monkey grips a whip in one hand whilst he straddles a quadruped beast, yet the title is ironic. “Monkey grip” is a slang expression for the cleverness of holding something in one hand that would usually require two but this expression originates from catching monkeys. In this image both animals are in fact, caught up in the “grip” of captivity and exploitation.
