Cousins

Working only in shades achieved by burning the Russian elkskin, the artist brings a depth of expression and attitude to his creations that is remarkable. Large and imposing at 27x41 inches, the museum quality of the deep shadow-boxed frame is in perfect counterpoint to the art it enhances, and the two portraits compliment each other in a rugged and primal way. In the profile work, the chimp seems to be watching the viewer from the corned of her eye...while in the face-on subject, the male's gaze follows the onlooker about the room. Entitled "Cousins", this piece is truly powerful.
