“Green Monkey, after George Stubbs (Pictures of Magazines 2)” by Vik Muniz, created in 2011, is a work in the genre of photo and belongs to the Conceptual Art movement. The artwork is a complex and vibrant depiction, drawing inspiration from the work of George Stubbs and constructed using fragments of magazines.
The artwork intricately assembles a multitude of magazine clippings into a cohesive and detailed image of a monkey. The artist employs a collage technique to create a textured and dynamic composition. The use of various colors, shades, and patterns from the magazine snippets brings depth and richness to the depiction. The background is equally detailed, merging with the primary subject to form a dense tapestry of visual elements, reflecting the conceptual approach of transforming mundane materials into sophisticated art.
