Zodiac the year of monkey 2024

‘Zodiac the year of monkey’ by artist Chayanisa Sriwichainan uses intense and decorative patterns to celebrate the joy, playfulness, and vibrant vitality symbolized by the Year of the Monkey. At the center of the canvas sits a woman, serene with closed eyes and a happy smile, whose body and background are filled with swirling spirals and complex geometric motifs. Embraced by the woman is a large, happily grinning monkey, surrounded by various animals, including owls and birds. Both the monkey and the woman’s garments are covered in the elaborate decorative patterns reminiscent of Klimt’s style. The work emphasizes the wit and spirited nature of the Monkey zodiac sign, visually demonstrating how humans, animals, and nature’s patterns merge to create a complex yet harmonious world. The woman’s tranquil expression symbolizes the happiness found through humor and pure enjoyment, even amidst the world’s chaos.
