Pig Monkey

"Pig Monkey" (translated from the German Schweinsaffe), features a macaque resting on a neutral background. Kuhnert’s skilled brushwork brings the animal’s facial expression to life, blending earthy tones of brown, beige, and soft pink to highlight its relaxed and natural pose. The rough textures of the paint add depth and focus, drawing the viewer’s attention to the subject's contemplative demeanor. The simplicity of the composition enhances the intimate portrayal, allowing the viewer to connect with the subject’s humanity-like qualities.
