About The Artwork
I saw these raiders in the garden of a hotel at Umhlanga Rocks in Natal. Vervet monkeys are common in Africa and easily become habituated to man so that they have no sense of danger from your proximity. I had grown up with them but we did not have the monkey oranges. so I was amused to see them helping themselves to the fruit, electing those that had the brightest colour and then squeezing them to find the very best. Years ago I had done a picture of baboons on a rock faced in a cluster of three making a Y shape on the pledges. I used that grouping here - I did not paint them from life!

United Kingdom
Sinclair has developed an original style with a strong graphic base and a bold palette. There are a lot of European influences, reflecting his mother’s Flemish background, and the subject matter is diverse. “My ideas start with drawings capturing emotionally charged images…sometimes a sketch will resurface into a painting years later. Shapes and the rhythms between them have always fascinated me…. In my pictures areas of flat colour are varied by the texture of brushstrokes and I am always experimenting, aiming for images that are charismatic.”
