{"product_id":"the-ape-chorus-oracle","title":"The Ape Chorus Oracle","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eApollo, having killed the snake guarding the oracle Gaia, wears its head as a disguise and listens to her predictions. The  two thoughtful apes provide a chattering chorus in the background. The reclining, pale figure dominates the painting. She appears vulnerable, exposed, almost languidly theatrical. Her body is beautifully illuminated in pinks, violets, and whites, but her expression is difficult to read. She could be sleeping, dreaming, dying, posing, or receiving a revelation.  That ambiguity makes her less a specific individual than a human protagonist placed before an audience. Her relaxed, almost reclining odalisque-like pose also introduces eroticism, but it is an eroticism complicated by the surrounding apes. The figure is simultaneously object, spectator, performer, and perhaps sacrificial victim. The chair becomes almost a stage or throne. Its intense blue separates the body from the surrounding darkness and gives the figure a strangely ceremonial status.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eAcrylic on Canvas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e100 x 100 cms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eUnframed (on stretcher)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-width: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eIf going within the United Kingdom, artwork will be sent stretched and will take my specialist artwork courier up to 2 weeks for delivery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-width: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-width: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eArtwork going outside the United Kingdom will be taken off its stretcher and shipped securely rolled in a protective tube with your own tracking number.
